Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.05 + 0.45x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.05' to each side of the equation.
-0.05 + 0.45x + 0.05 + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Reorder the terms:
-0.05 + 0.05 + 0.45x + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.45x + x2 = 0 + 0.05
0.45x + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.05 = 0.05
0.45x + x2 = 0.05

The x term is 0.45x.  Take half its coefficient (0.225).
Square it (0.050625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.050625' to each side of the equation.
0.45x + 0.050625 + x2 = 0.05 + 0.050625

Reorder the terms:
0.050625 + 0.45x + x2 = 0.05 + 0.050625

Combine like terms: 0.05 + 0.050625 = 0.100625
0.050625 + 0.45x + x2 = 0.100625
