20 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.35 + -0.7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.35' to each side of the equation.
-0.35 + -0.7x + 0.35 + x2 = 0 + 0.35

Reorder the terms:
-0.35 + 0.35 + -0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.35

Combine like terms: -0.35 + 0.35 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.35
-0.7x + x2 = 0 + 0.35

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.35 = 0.35
-0.7x + x2 = 0.35

The x term is -0.7x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.35).
Square it (0.1225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.1225' to each side of the equation.
-0.7x + 0.1225 + x2 = 0.35 + 0.1225

Reorder the terms:
0.1225 + -0.7x + x2 = 0.35 + 0.1225

Combine like terms: 0.35 + 0.1225 = 0.4725
0.1225 + -0.7x + x2 = 0.4725
