Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
7.5 + 20x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation.
7.5 + 20x + -7.5 + x2 = 0 + -7.5

Reorder the terms:
7.5 + -7.5 + 20x + x2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 20x + x2 = 0 + -7.5
20x + x2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -7.5 = -7.5
20x + x2 = -7.5

The x term is 20x.  Take half its coefficient (10).
Square it (100) and add it to both sides.

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
20x + 100 + x2 = -7.5 + 100

Reorder the terms:
100 + 20x + x2 = -7.5 + 100

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 100 = 92.5
100 + 20x + x2 = 92.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 10)(x + 10) = 92.5
