Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
10 + 2.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + 2.5k + -10 + k2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + 2.5k + k2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 2.5k + k2 = 0 + -10
2.5k + k2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
2.5k + k2 = -10

The k term is 2.5k.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5k + 1.5625 + k2 = -10 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5k + k2 = -10 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -10 + 1.5625 = -8.4375
1.5625 + 2.5k + k2 = -8.4375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 1.25)(k + 1.25) = -8.4375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
