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
