Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.05 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.05'.
-300 + -8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '300' to each side of the equation.
-300 + -8x + 300 + x2 = 0 + 300

Reorder the terms:
-300 + 300 + -8x + x2 = 0 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0
0 + -8x + x2 = 0 + 300
-8x + x2 = 0 + 300

Combine like terms: 0 + 300 = 300
-8x + x2 = 300

The x term is -8x.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
