Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.1 + 0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.2x + 0.1 + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1
0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1 = 0.1
0.2x + x2 = 0.1

The x term is 0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 0.1 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.1 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.01 = 0.11
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.11

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.1)(x + 0.1) = 0.11

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.331662479

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.1) equal to 0.331662479 and -0.331662479.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.1 = 0.331662479 Simplifying x + 0.1 = 0.331662479 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = 0.331662479 Solving 0.1 + x = 0.331662479 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = 0.331662479 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.331662479 + -0.1 x = 0.331662479 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.331662479 + -0.1 = 0.231662479 x = 0.231662479 Simplifying x = 0.231662479

Subproblem 2

x + 0.1 = -0.331662479 Simplifying x + 0.1 = -0.331662479 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = -0.331662479 Solving 0.1 + x = -0.331662479 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = -0.331662479 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.331662479 + -0.1 x = -0.331662479 + -0.1 Combine like terms: -0.331662479 + -0.1 = -0.431662479 x = -0.431662479 Simplifying x = -0.431662479
