Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.42x + 0.1 + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + 0.42x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.42x + x2 = 0 + 0.1
0.42x + x2 = 0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1 = 0.1
0.42x + x2 = 0.1

The x term is 0.42x.  Take half its coefficient (0.21).
Square it (0.0441) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0441' to each side of the equation.
0.42x + 0.0441 + x2 = 0.1 + 0.0441
