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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.1 + 0.55x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.55x + 0.1 + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + 0.55x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.55x + x2 = 0 + 0.1
0.55x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1 = 0.1
0.55x + x2 = 0.1

The x term is 0.55x.  Take half its coefficient (0.275).
Square it (0.075625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.075625' to each side of the equation.
0.55x + 0.075625 + x2 = 0.1 + 0.075625

Reorder the terms:
0.075625 + 0.55x + x2 = 0.1 + 0.075625

Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.075625 = 0.175625
0.075625 + 0.55x + x2 = 0.175625
