Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.04 + -0.85x + -0.04 + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.04 + -0.85x + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Combine like terms: 0.04 + -0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.85x + x2 = 0 + -0.04
-0.85x + x2 = 0 + -0.04

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.04 = -0.04
-0.85x + x2 = -0.04

The x term is -0.85x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.425).
Square it (0.180625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.180625' to each side of the equation.
-0.85x + 0.180625 + x2 = -0.04 + 0.180625

Reorder the terms:
0.180625 + -0.85x + x2 = -0.04 + 0.180625

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.180625 = 0.140625
0.180625 + -0.85x + x2 = 0.140625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.425)(x + -0.425) = 0.140625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.425) equal to 0.375 and -0.375.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.425 = 0.375 Simplifying x + -0.425 = 0.375 Reorder the terms: -0.425 + x = 0.375 Solving -0.425 + x = 0.375 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.425' to each side of the equation. -0.425 + 0.425 + x = 0.375 + 0.425 Combine like terms: -0.425 + 0.425 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 0.375 + 0.425 x = 0.375 + 0.425 Combine like terms: 0.375 + 0.425 = 0.8 x = 0.8 Simplifying x = 0.8

Subproblem 2

x + -0.425 = -0.375 Simplifying x + -0.425 = -0.375 Reorder the terms: -0.425 + x = -0.375 Solving -0.425 + x = -0.375 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.425' to each side of the equation. -0.425 + 0.425 + x = -0.375 + 0.425 Combine like terms: -0.425 + 0.425 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -0.375 + 0.425 x = -0.375 + 0.425 Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.425 = 0.05 x = 0.05 Simplifying x = 0.05

Solution
