-0.09 + 0.09 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.00 + 0.09

Combine like terms: -0.09 + 0.09 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.00 + 0.09
0.8x + x2 = 0.00 + 0.09

Combine like terms: 0.00 + 0.09 = 0.09
0.8x + x2 = 0.09

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 = 0.09 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.09 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.09 + 0.16 = 0.25
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.25

(x + 0.4) equal to 0.5 and -0.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.4 = 0.5 Simplifying x + 0.4 = 0.5 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + x = 0.5 Solving 0.4 + x = 0.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + x = 0.5 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.5 + -0.4 x = 0.5 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.4 = 0.1 x = 0.1 Simplifying x = 0.1

Subproblem 2

x + 0.4 = -0.5 Simplifying x + 0.4 = -0.5 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + x = -0.5 Solving 0.4 + x = -0.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + x = -0.5 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.5 + -0.4 x = -0.5 + -0.4 Combine like terms: -0.5 + -0.4 = -0.9 x = -0.9 Simplifying x = -0.9

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.1, -0.9}
