Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.1'.
-50 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '50' to each side of the equation.
-50 + 5x + 50 + x2 = 0 + 50

Reorder the terms:
-50 + 50 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0
0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 50
5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: 0 + 50 = 50
5x + x2 = 50

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = 50 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 50 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 50 + 6.25 = 56.25
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 56.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = 56.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 7.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2.5) equal to 7.5 and -7.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.5 = 7.5 Simplifying x + 2.5 = 7.5 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = 7.5 Solving 2.5 + x = 7.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = 7.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 7.5 + -2.5 x = 7.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 7.5 + -2.5 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Subproblem 2

x + 2.5 = -7.5 Simplifying x + 2.5 = -7.5 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = -7.5 Solving 2.5 + x = -7.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = -7.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -7.5 + -2.5 x = -7.5 + -2.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + -2.5 = -10 x = -10 Simplifying x = -10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {5, -10}
