Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '25'.
0.16 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.16 + 1.6x + -0.16 + x2 = 0 + -0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.16 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.16

Combine like terms: 0.16 + -0.16 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.16
1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.16

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.16 = -0.16
1.6x + x2 = -0.16

The x term is 1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = -0.16 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = -0.16 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.16 + 0.64 = 0.48
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 0.48

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.8)(x + 0.8) = 0.48

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.692820323

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.8) equal to 0.692820323 and -0.692820323.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.8 = 0.692820323 Simplifying x + 0.8 = 0.692820323 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + x = 0.692820323 Solving 0.8 + x = 0.692820323 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + x = 0.692820323 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.692820323 + -0.8 x = 0.692820323 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.692820323 + -0.8 = -0.107179677 x = -0.107179677 Simplifying x = -0.107179677

Subproblem 2

x + 0.8 = -0.692820323 Simplifying x + 0.8 = -0.692820323 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + x = -0.692820323 Solving 0.8 + x = -0.692820323 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + x = -0.692820323 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.692820323 + -0.8 x = -0.692820323 + -0.8 Combine like terms: -0.692820323 + -0.8 = -1.492820323 x = -1.492820323 Simplifying x = -1.492820323

Solution
