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 + -0.2x2 + x4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -0.2x2 + 0.2 + x4 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -0.2x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.2
-0.2x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-0.2x2 + x4 = 0.2

The x term is -0.2x2.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x2 + 0.01 + x4 = 0.2 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x2 + x4 = 0.2 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.01 = 0.21
0.01 + -0.2x2 + x4 = 0.21

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x2 + -0.1)(x2 + -0.1) = 0.21

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.458257569
