Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
10 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '10'.
1.96 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.96' to each side of the equation.
1.96 + 2x + -1.96 + x2 = 0 + -1.96

Reorder the terms:
1.96 + -1.96 + 2x + x2 = 0 + -1.96

Combine like terms: 1.96 + -1.96 = 0.00
0.00 + 2x + x2 = 0 + -1.96
2x + x2 = 0 + -1.96

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.96 = -1.96
2x + x2 = -1.96

The x term is 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = -1.96 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = -1.96 + 1

Combine like terms: -1.96 + 1 = -0.96
1 + 2x + x2 = -0.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = -0.96

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
