Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -1x + 0.2 + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2
-1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-1x + x2 = 0.2

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.2 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.2 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.25 = 0.45
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.45

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 0.45

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.670820393
