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 + -4.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.9' to each side of the equation.
0.9 + -4.2x + -0.9 + x2 = 0 + -0.9

Reorder the terms:
0.9 + -0.9 + -4.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.9

Combine like terms: 0.9 + -0.9 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.9
-4.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.9

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.9 = -0.9
-4.2x + x2 = -0.9

The x term is -4.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.1).
Square it (4.41) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.41' to each side of the equation.
-4.2x + 4.41 + x2 = -0.9 + 4.41

Reorder the terms:
4.41 + -4.2x + x2 = -0.9 + 4.41

Combine like terms: -0.9 + 4.41 = 3.51
4.41 + -4.2x + x2 = 3.51

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.1)(x + -2.1) = 3.51

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.8734994
