Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.68 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.68' to each side of the equation.
-0.68 + 0.4x + 0.68 + x2 = 0 + 0.68

Reorder the terms:
-0.68 + 0.68 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.68

Combine like terms: -0.68 + 0.68 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.68
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.68

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.68 = 0.68
0.4x + x2 = 0.68

The x term is 0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 0.68 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 0.68 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.68 + 0.04 = 0.72
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 0.72

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.2)(x + 0.2) = 0.72

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.848528137
