Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-5'.
-100 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
-100 + 0.4x + 100 + x2 = 0 + 100

Reorder the terms:
-100 + 100 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: -100 + 100 = 0
0 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 100
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: 0 + 100 = 100
0.4x + x2 = 100

The x term is 0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 100 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 100 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 100 + 0.04 = 100.04
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 100.04

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.2)(x + 0.2) = 100.04

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.0019998

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.2) equal to 10.0019998 and -10.0019998.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.2 = 10.0019998 Simplifying x + 0.2 = 10.0019998 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + x = 10.0019998 Solving 0.2 + x = 10.0019998 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + x = 10.0019998 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 10.0019998 + -0.2 x = 10.0019998 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 10.0019998 + -0.2 = 9.8019998 x = 9.8019998 Simplifying x = 9.8019998

Subproblem 2

x + 0.2 = -10.0019998 Simplifying x + 0.2 = -10.0019998 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + x = -10.0019998 Solving 0.2 + x = -10.0019998 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + x = -10.0019998 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -10.0019998 + -0.2 x = -10.0019998 + -0.2 Combine like terms: -10.0019998 + -0.2 = -10.2019998 x = -10.2019998 Simplifying x = -10.2019998

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {9.8019998, -10.2019998}
