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 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.4x + 0.1 + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.1
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1 = 0.1
0.4x + x2 = 0.1

The x term is 0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 0.1 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 0.1 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.04 = 0.14
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 0.14

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.2)(x + 0.2) = 0.14

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.374165739

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.2) equal to 0.374165739 and -0.374165739.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.2 = 0.374165739 Simplifying x + 0.2 = 0.374165739 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + x = 0.374165739 Solving 0.2 + x = 0.374165739 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + x = 0.374165739 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.374165739 + -0.2 x = 0.374165739 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.374165739 + -0.2 = 0.174165739 x = 0.174165739 Simplifying x = 0.174165739

Subproblem 2

x + 0.2 = -0.374165739 Simplifying x + 0.2 = -0.374165739 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + x = -0.374165739 Solving 0.2 + x = -0.374165739 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + x = -0.374165739 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.374165739 + -0.2 x = -0.374165739 + -0.2 Combine like terms: -0.374165739 + -0.2 = -0.574165739 x = -0.574165739 Simplifying x = -0.574165739
