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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-0.44 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.44' to each side of the equation.
-0.44 + -2x + 0.44 + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Reorder the terms:
-0.44 + 0.44 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Combine like terms: -0.44 + 0.44 = 0.00
0.00 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 0.44
-2x + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.44 = 0.44
-2x + x2 = 0.44

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2x + 1 + x2 = 0.44 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2x + x2 = 0.44 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.44 + 1 = 1.44
1 + -2x + x2 = 1.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1)(x + -1) = 1.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1) equal to 1.2 and -1.2.

Subproblem 1

x + -1 = 1.2 Simplifying x + -1 = 1.2 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = 1.2 Solving -1 + x = 1.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = 1.2 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = 1.2 + 1 x = 1.2 + 1 Combine like terms: 1.2 + 1 = 2.2 x = 2.2 Simplifying x = 2.2

Subproblem 2

x + -1 = -1.2 Simplifying x + -1 = -1.2 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = -1.2 Solving -1 + x = -1.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = -1.2 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = -1.2 + 1 x = -1.2 + 1 Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1 = -0.2 x = -0.2 Simplifying x = -0.2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.2, -0.2}
