Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-100 + 0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
-100 + 0.25x + 100 + x2 = 0 + 100

Reorder the terms:
-100 + 100 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: -100 + 100 = 0
0 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 100
0.25x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: 0 + 100 = 100
0.25x + x2 = 100

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 100 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 100 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 100 + 0.25 = 100.25
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 100.25
