Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-0.84 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.84' to each side of the equation.
-0.84 + -2x + 0.84 + x2 = 0 + 0.84

Reorder the terms:
-0.84 + 0.84 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 0.84

Combine like terms: -0.84 + 0.84 = 0.00
0.00 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 0.84
-2x + x2 = 0 + 0.84

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.84 = 0.84
-2x + x2 = 0.84

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.
-2x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.84 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -2x + x2 = 0.84 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.84 + 0.25 = 1.09
0.25 + -2x + x2 = 1.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 1.09

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.044030651
