Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + 0.1x + 0.2 + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + 0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2
0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
0.1x + x2 = 0.2

The x term is 0.1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.05).
Square it (0.0025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0025' to each side of the equation.
0.1x + 0.0025 + x2 = 0.2 + 0.0025

Reorder the terms:
0.0025 + 0.1x + x2 = 0.2 + 0.0025

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.0025 = 0.2025
0.0025 + 0.1x + x2 = 0.2025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.05)(x + 0.05) = 0.2025

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.45

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.05) equal to 0.45 and -0.45.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.05 = 0.45 Simplifying x + 0.05 = 0.45 Reorder the terms: 0.05 + x = 0.45 Solving 0.05 + x = 0.45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.05' to each side of the equation. 0.05 + -0.05 + x = 0.45 + -0.05 Combine like terms: 0.05 + -0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.45 + -0.05 x = 0.45 + -0.05 Combine like terms: 0.45 + -0.05 = 0.4 x = 0.4 Simplifying x = 0.4

Subproblem 2

x + 0.05 = -0.45 Simplifying x + 0.05 = -0.45 Reorder the terms: 0.05 + x = -0.45 Solving 0.05 + x = -0.45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.05' to each side of the equation. 0.05 + -0.05 + x = -0.45 + -0.05 Combine like terms: 0.05 + -0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.45 + -0.05 x = -0.45 + -0.05 Combine like terms: -0.45 + -0.05 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.4, -0.5}
