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 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.9' to each side of the equation.
-0.9 + -0.2x + 0.9 + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Reorder the terms:
-0.9 + 0.9 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.9

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.9 = 0.9
-0.2x + x2 = 0.9

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 = 0.9 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 0.9 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.9 + 0.01 = 0.91
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 0.91

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.1)(x + -0.1) = 0.91

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.953939201

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.1) equal to 0.953939201 and -0.953939201.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.1 = 0.953939201 Simplifying x + -0.1 = 0.953939201 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = 0.953939201 Solving -0.1 + x = 0.953939201 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 = 0.953939201 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.953939201 + 0.1 x = 0.953939201 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 0.953939201 + 0.1 = 1.053939201 x = 1.053939201 Simplifying x = 1.053939201

Subproblem 2

x + -0.1 = -0.953939201 Simplifying x + -0.1 = -0.953939201 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = -0.953939201 Solving -0.1 + x = -0.953939201 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 = -0.953939201 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.953939201 + 0.1 x = -0.953939201 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.953939201 + 0.1 = -0.853939201 x = -0.853939201 Simplifying x = -0.853939201
