Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-31 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '31' to each side of the equation.
-31 + -0.4x + 31 + x2 = 0 + 31

Reorder the terms:
-31 + 31 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: -31 + 31 = 0
0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 31
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: 0 + 31 = 31
-0.4x + x2 = 31

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 = 31 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 31 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 31 + 0.04 = 31.04
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 31.04
