Solving
-0.042 + 0.16x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.042' to each side of the equation.
-0.042 + 0.16x + 0.042 + x2 = 0 + 0.042

Reorder the terms:
-0.042 + 0.042 + 0.16x + x2 = 0 + 0.042

Combine like terms: -0.042 + 0.042 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.16x + x2 = 0 + 0.042
0.16x + x2 = 0 + 0.042

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.042 = 0.042
0.16x + x2 = 0.042

The x term is 0.16x.  Take half its coefficient (0.08).
Square it (0.0064) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0064' to each side of the equation.
0.16x + 0.0064 + x2 = 0.042 + 0.0064

Reorder the terms:
0.0064 + 0.16x + x2 = 0.042 + 0.0064

Combine like terms: 0.042 + 0.0064 = 0.0484
0.0064 + 0.16x + x2 = 0.0484

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.08)(x + 0.08) = 0.0484

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.22

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.08) equal to 0.22 and -0.22.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.08 = 0.22 Simplifying x + 0.08 = 0.22 Reorder the terms: 0.08 + x = 0.22 Solving 0.08 + x = 0.22 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.08' to each side of the equation. 0.08 + -0.08 + x = 0.22 + -0.08 Combine like terms: 0.08 + -0.08 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.22 + -0.08 x = 0.22 + -0.08 Combine like terms: 0.22 + -0.08 = 0.14 x = 0.14 Simplifying x = 0.14

Subproblem 2

x + 0.08 = -0.22 Simplifying x + 0.08 = -0.22 Reorder the terms: 0.08 + x = -0.22 Solving 0.08 + x = -0.22 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.08' to each side of the equation. 0.08 + -0.08 + x = -0.22 + -0.08 Combine like terms: 0.08 + -0.08 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.22 + -0.08 x = -0.22 + -0.08 Combine like terms: -0.22 + -0.08 = -0.3 x = -0.3 Simplifying x = -0.3

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.14, -0.3}
