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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.1 + -0.7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + -0.7x + 0.1 + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + -0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.1
-0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1 = 0.1
-0.7x + x2 = 0.1

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 = 0.1 + 0.1225

Reorder the terms:
0.1225 + -0.7x + x2 = 0.1 + 0.1225

Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.1225 = 0.2225
0.1225 + -0.7x + x2 = 0.2225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.35)(x + -0.35) = 0.2225
