Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-10 + x + -5x2 = 10 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-10 + x + -5x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
2 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -0.2x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + -2
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-0.2x + x2 = -2

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 = -2 + 0.25
