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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-23.76 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '23.76' to each side of the equation.
-23.76 + -1x + 23.76 + x2 = 0 + 23.76

Reorder the terms:
-23.76 + 23.76 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 23.76

Combine like terms: -23.76 + 23.76 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 23.76
-1x + x2 = 0 + 23.76

Combine like terms: 0 + 23.76 = 23.76
-1x + x2 = 23.76

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 23.76 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 23.76 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 23.76 + 0.25 = 24.01
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 24.01

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 24.01

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.9

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 4.9 and -4.9.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 4.9 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 4.9 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 4.9 Solving -0.5 + x = 4.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = 4.9 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 4.9 + 0.5 x = 4.9 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 4.9 + 0.5 = 5.4 x = 5.4 Simplifying x = 5.4

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -4.9 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -4.9 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -4.9 Solving -0.5 + x = -4.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = -4.9 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -4.9 + 0.5 x = -4.9 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -4.9 + 0.5 = -4.4 x = -4.4 Simplifying x = -4.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {5.4, -4.4}
