Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.9 + -1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.9' to each side of the equation.
-0.9 + -1.2x + 0.9 + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Reorder the terms:
-0.9 + 0.9 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9
-1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.9 = 0.9
-1.2x + x2 = 0.9

The x term is -1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = 0.9 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 0.9 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 0.9 + 0.36 = 1.26
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 1.26
