Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.02' to each side of the equation.
-0.02 + -0.1x + 0.02 + x2 = 0 + 0.02

Reorder the terms:
-0.02 + 0.02 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.02

Combine like terms: -0.02 + 0.02 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.02
-0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.02

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.02 = 0.02
-0.1x + x2 = 0.02

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 = 0.02 + 0.0025

Reorder the terms:
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 0.02 + 0.0025

Combine like terms: 0.02 + 0.0025 = 0.0225
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 0.0225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.05)(x + -0.05) = 0.0225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.15

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.05) equal to 0.15 and -0.15.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.05 = 0.15 Simplifying x + -0.05 = 0.15 Reorder the terms: -0.05 + x = 0.15 Solving -0.05 + x = 0.15 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 = 0.15 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.15 + 0.05 x = 0.15 + 0.05 Combine like terms: 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.2 x = 0.2 Simplifying x = 0.2

Subproblem 2

x + -0.05 = -0.15 Simplifying x + -0.05 = -0.15 Reorder the terms: -0.05 + x = -0.15 Solving -0.05 + x = -0.15 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 = -0.15 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.15 + 0.05 x = -0.15 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.15 + 0.05 = -0.1 x = -0.1 Simplifying x = -0.1

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.2, -0.1}
