Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.12 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.12' to each side of the equation.
-0.12 + -0.8x + 0.12 + x2 = 0 + 0.12

Reorder the terms:
-0.12 + 0.12 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.12

Combine like terms: -0.12 + 0.12 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.12
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.12

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.12 = 0.12
-0.8x + x2 = 0.12

The x term is -0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 0.12 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.12 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.12 + 0.16 = 0.28
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.28

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 0.28

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.529150262

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.4) equal to 0.529150262 and -0.529150262.
