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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.45 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.45' to each side of the equation.
-0.45 + -0.5x + 0.45 + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Reorder the terms:
-0.45 + 0.45 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Combine like terms: -0.45 + 0.45 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.45
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.45 = 0.45
-0.5x + x2 = 0.45

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 0.45 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0.45 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.45 + 0.0625 = 0.5125
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0.5125
