Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
10 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -2.5x + -10 + x2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -10

0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -10
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-2.5x + x2 = -10

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = -10 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = -10 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -10 + 1.5625 = -8.4375
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = -8.4375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.25)(x + -1.25) = -8.4375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
