Solving
-0.08 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.08' to each side of the equation.
-0.08 + -0.2x + 0.08 + x2 = 0 + 0.08

Reorder the terms:
-0.08 + 0.08 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.08

Combine like terms: -0.08 + 0.08 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.08
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.08

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.08 = 0.08
-0.2x + x2 = 0.08

The x term is -0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 0.08 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 0.08 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.08 + 0.01 = 0.09
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 0.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.1)(x + -0.1) = 0.09

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.3

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.1) equal to 0.3 and -0.3.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.1 = 0.3 Simplifying x + -0.1 = 0.3 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = 0.3 Solving -0.1 + x = 0.3 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + x = 0.3 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.3 + 0.1 x = 0.3 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 0.3 + 0.1 = 0.4 x = 0.4 Simplifying x = 0.4

Subproblem 2

x + -0.1 = -0.3 Simplifying x + -0.1 = -0.3 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = -0.3 Solving -0.1 + x = -0.3 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + x = -0.3 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.3 + 0.1 x = -0.3 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.1 = -0.2 x = -0.2 Simplifying x = -0.2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.4, -0.2}
