Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-20 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 1.5x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
1.5x + x2 = 20

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
