Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.025 + 0.26x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.025' to each side of the equation.
-0.025 + 0.26x + 0.025 + x2 = 0 + 0.025

Reorder the terms:
-0.025 + 0.025 + 0.26x + x2 = 0 + 0.025

Combine like terms: -0.025 + 0.025 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.26x + x2 = 0 + 0.025
0.26x + x2 = 0 + 0.025

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.025 = 0.025
0.26x + x2 = 0.025

The x term is 0.26x.  Take half its coefficient (0.13).
Square it (0.0169) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0169' to each side of the equation.
0.26x + 0.0169 + x2 = 0.025 + 0.0169

Reorder the terms:
0.0169 + 0.26x + x2 = 0.025 + 0.0169

Combine like terms: 0.025 + 0.0169 = 0.0419
0.0169 + 0.26x + x2 = 0.0419
