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 + 0.3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 0.3x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 1
0.3x + x2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
0.3x + x2 = 1

The x term is 0.3x.  Take half its coefficient (0.15).
Square it (0.0225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0225' to each side of the equation.
0.3x + 0.0225 + x2 = 1 + 0.0225

Reorder the terms:
0.0225 + 0.3x + x2 = 1 + 0.0225

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.0225 = 1.0225
0.0225 + 0.3x + x2 = 1.0225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.15)(x + 0.15) = 1.0225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.011187421
