Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.5' to each side of the equation.
-5.5 + 0.3x + 5.5 + x2 = 0 + 5.5

Reorder the terms:
-5.5 + 5.5 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 5.5
0.3x + x2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.5 = 5.5
0.3x + x2 = 5.5

The x term is 0.3x.  Take half its coefficient (0.15).
Square it (0.0225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0225' to each side of the equation.
0.3x + 0.0225 + x2 = 5.5 + 0.0225

Reorder the terms:
0.0225 + 0.3x + x2 = 5.5 + 0.0225

Combine like terms: 5.5 + 0.0225 = 5.5225
0.0225 + 0.3x + x2 = 5.5225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.15)(x + 0.15) = 5.5225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.35

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.15) equal to 2.35 and -2.35.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.15 = 2.35 Simplifying x + 0.15 = 2.35 Reorder the terms: 0.15 + x = 2.35 Solving 0.15 + x = 2.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.15' to each side of the equation. 0.15 + -0.15 + x = 2.35 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 0.15 + -0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.35 + -0.15 x = 2.35 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 2.35 + -0.15 = 2.2 x = 2.2 Simplifying x = 2.2

Subproblem 2

x + 0.15 = -2.35 Simplifying x + 0.15 = -2.35 Reorder the terms: 0.15 + x = -2.35 Solving 0.15 + x = -2.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.15' to each side of the equation. 0.15 + -0.15 + x = -2.35 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 0.15 + -0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.35 + -0.15 x = -2.35 + -0.15 Combine like terms: -2.35 + -0.15 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.2, -2.5}
