0.5 + 15x + 12.5x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '12.5'.
0.04 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.04 + 1.2x + -0.04 + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.04 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Combine like terms: 0.04 + -0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.04
1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.04 = -0.04
1.2x + x2 = -0.04

The x term is 1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = -0.04 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = -0.04 + 0.36

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.36 = 0.32
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 0.32

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.6)(x + 0.6) = 0.32

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.565685425
