Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '3.5'.
-0.14 + -0.04x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.14' to each side of the equation.
-0.14 + -0.04x + 0.14 + x2 = 0 + 0.14

Reorder the terms:
-0.14 + 0.14 + -0.04x + x2 = 0 + 0.14

Combine like terms: -0.14 + 0.14 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.04x + x2 = 0 + 0.14
-0.04x + x2 = 0 + 0.14

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.14 = 0.14
-0.04x + x2 = 0.14

The x term is -0.04x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.02).
Square it (0.0004) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0004' to each side of the equation.
-0.04x + 0.0004 + x2 = 0.14 + 0.0004

Reorder the terms:
0.0004 + -0.04x + x2 = 0.14 + 0.0004

Combine like terms: 0.14 + 0.0004 = 0.1404
0.0004 + -0.04x + x2 = 0.1404

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.02)(x + -0.02) = 0.1404

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.37469988

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.02) equal to 0.37469988 and -0.37469988.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.02 = 0.37469988 Simplifying x + -0.02 = 0.37469988 Reorder the terms: -0.02 + x = 0.37469988 Solving -0.02 + x = 0.37469988 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.02' to each side of the equation. -0.02 + 0.02 + x = 0.37469988 + 0.02 Combine like terms: -0.02 + 0.02 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.37469988 + 0.02 x = 0.37469988 + 0.02 Combine like terms: 0.37469988 + 0.02 = 0.39469988 x = 0.39469988 Simplifying x = 0.39469988

Subproblem 2
