Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1' to each side of the equation.
-0.1 + 0.5x + 0.1 + x2 = 0.0 + 0.1

Reorder the terms:
-0.1 + 0.1 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.1
0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.1 = 0.1
0.5x + x2 = 0.1

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 0.1 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.1 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.1 + 0.0625 = 0.1625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.1625
