Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.05 + 0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.05' to each side of the equation.
-0.05 + 0.2x + 0.05 + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Reorder the terms:
-0.05 + 0.05 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.05
0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.05

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.05 = 0.05
0.2x + x2 = 0.05

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.
0.2x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.05 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.05 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.05 + 0.25 = 0.3
0.25 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.3

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 0.3

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.547722558
