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 + -0.32x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.16 + -0.32x + 0.16 + x2 = 0 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
-0.16 + 0.16 + -0.32x + x2 = 0 + 0.16

Combine like terms: -0.16 + 0.16 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.32x + x2 = 0 + 0.16
-0.32x + x2 = 0 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.16 = 0.16
-0.32x + x2 = 0.16

The x term is -0.32x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.16).
Square it (0.0256) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0256' to each side of the equation.
-0.32x + 0.0256 + x2 = 0.16 + 0.0256

Reorder the terms:
0.0256 + -0.32x + x2 = 0.16 + 0.0256

Combine like terms: 0.16 + 0.0256 = 0.1856
0.0256 + -0.32x + x2 = 0.1856
