Divide each side by '20'.
-0.75 + 0.35x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.75' to each side of the equation.
-0.75 + 0.35x + 0.75 + x2 = 0 + 0.75

Reorder the terms:
-0.75 + 0.75 + 0.35x + x2 = 0 + 0.75

Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.35x + x2 = 0 + 0.75
0.35x + x2 = 0 + 0.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.75 = 0.75
0.35x + x2 = 0.75

The x term is 0.35x.  Take half its coefficient (0.175).
