Divide each side by '10'.
-1.7 + -0.1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.
-1.7 + -0.1x + 1.7 + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Reorder the terms:
-1.7 + 1.7 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.7
-0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.7 = 1.7
-0.1x + x2 = 1.7

The x term is -0.1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.05).
Square it (0.0025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0025' to each side of the equation.
-0.1x + 0.0025 + x2 = 1.7 + 0.0025
