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

Divide each side by '3.5'.
-4400 + 200x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4400' to each side of the equation.
-4400 + 200x + 4400 + x2 = 0 + 4400

Reorder the terms:
-4400 + 4400 + 200x + x2 = 0 + 4400

Combine like terms: -4400 + 4400 = 0
0 + 200x + x2 = 0 + 4400
200x + x2 = 0 + 4400

Combine like terms: 0 + 4400 = 4400
200x + x2 = 4400

The x term is 200x.  Take half its coefficient (100).
Square it (10000) and add it to both sides.

Add '10000' to each side of the equation.
200x + 10000 + x2 = 4400 + 10000

Reorder the terms:
10000 + 200x + x2 = 4400 + 10000

Combine like terms: 4400 + 10000 = 14400
10000 + 200x + x2 = 14400

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 100)(x + 100) = 14400

Calculate the square root of the right side: 120

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 100) equal to 120 and -120.

Subproblem 1

x + 100 = 120 Simplifying x + 100 = 120 Reorder the terms: 100 + x = 120 Solving 100 + x = 120 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-100' to each side of the equation. 100 + -100 + x = 120 + -100 Combine like terms: 100 + -100 = 0 0 + x = 120 + -100 x = 120 + -100 Combine like terms: 120 + -100 = 20 x = 20 Simplifying x = 20

Subproblem 2

x + 100 = -120 Simplifying x + 100 = -120 Reorder the terms: 100 + x = -120 Solving 100 + x = -120 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-100' to each side of the equation. 100 + -100 + x = -120 + -100 Combine like terms: 100 + -100 = 0 0 + x = -120 + -100 x = -120 + -100 Combine like terms: -120 + -100 = -220 x = -220 Simplifying x = -220

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {20, -220}
