10 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '10'.
-4.2 + 0.7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.2' to each side of the equation.
-4.2 + 0.7x + 4.2 + x2 = 0 + 4.2

Reorder the terms:
-4.2 + 4.2 + 0.7x + x2 = 0 + 4.2

Combine like terms: -4.2 + 4.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.7x + x2 = 0 + 4.2
0.7x + x2 = 0 + 4.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.2 = 4.2
0.7x + x2 = 4.2

The x term is 0.7x.  Take half its coefficient (0.35).
Square it (0.1225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.1225' to each side of the equation.
0.7x + 0.1225 + x2 = 4.2 + 0.1225

Reorder the terms:
0.1225 + 0.7x + x2 = 4.2 + 0.1225

Combine like terms: 4.2 + 0.1225 = 4.3225
0.1225 + 0.7x + x2 = 4.3225
