Solving
4.5 + 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'.
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.36' to each side of the equation.
0.36 + 1.2x + -0.36 + x2 = 0 + -0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 0.36 + -0.36 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.36
1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.36 = -0.36
1.2x + x2 = -0.36

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 = -0.36 + 0.36

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

Combine like terms: -0.36 + 0.36 = 0.00
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 0.00

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.6)(x + 0.6) = 0.00

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.00

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.6) equal to 0.00 and 0.00.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.6 = 0.00 Simplifying x + 0.6 = 0.00 Reorder the terms: 0.6 + x = 0.00 Solving 0.6 + x = 0.00 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation. 0.6 + -0.6 + x = 0.00 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.00 + -0.6 x = 0.00 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.6 = -0.6 x = -0.6 Simplifying x = -0.6

Subproblem 2

x + 0.6 = 0.00 Simplifying x + 0.6 = 0.00 Reorder the terms: 0.6 + x = 0.00 Solving 0.6 + x = 0.00 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation. 0.6 + -0.6 + x = 0.00 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.00 + -0.6 x = 0.00 + -0.6 Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.6 = -0.6 x = -0.6 Simplifying x = -0.6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.6, -0.6}
