Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.72' to each side of the equation.
-0.72 + -0.1x + 0.72 + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Reorder the terms:
-0.72 + 0.72 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Combine like terms: -0.72 + 0.72 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.72
-0.1x + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.72 = 0.72
-0.1x + x2 = 0.72

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 = 0.72 + 0.0025

Reorder the terms:
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 0.72 + 0.0025

Combine like terms: 0.72 + 0.0025 = 0.7225
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 0.7225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.05)(x + -0.05) = 0.7225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.85

(x + -0.05) equal to 0.85 and -0.85.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.05 = 0.85 Simplifying x + -0.05 = 0.85 Reorder the terms: -0.05 + x = 0.85 Solving -0.05 + x = 0.85 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 = 0.85 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.85 + 0.05 x = 0.85 + 0.05 Combine like terms: 0.85 + 0.05 = 0.9 x = 0.9 Simplifying x = 0.9

Subproblem 2

x + -0.05 = -0.85 Simplifying x + -0.05 = -0.85 Reorder the terms: -0.05 + x = -0.85 Solving -0.05 + x = -0.85 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 = -0.85 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.05 + 0.05 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.85 + 0.05 x = -0.85 + 0.05 Combine like terms: -0.85 + 0.05 = -0.8 x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.9, -0.8}
