Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.01 + 0.5x + 0.01 + x2 = 0 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
-0.01 + 0.01 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.01

Combine like terms: -0.01 + 0.01 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.01
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.01 = 0.01
0.5x + x2 = 0.01

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 = 0.01 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.01 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.01 + 0.0625 = 0.0725
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0725

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 0.0725
