Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.28' to each side of the equation.
-0.28 + -0.3x + 0.28 + x2 = 0 + 0.28

Reorder the terms:
-0.28 + 0.28 + -0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.28

Combine like terms: -0.28 + 0.28 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.28
-0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.28

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.28 = 0.28
-0.3x + x2 = 0.28

The x term is -0.3x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.15).
Square it (0.0225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0225' to each side of the equation.
-0.3x + 0.0225 + x2 = 0.28 + 0.0225

Reorder the terms:
0.0225 + -0.3x + x2 = 0.28 + 0.0225

Combine like terms: 0.28 + 0.0225 = 0.3025
0.0225 + -0.3x + x2 = 0.3025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.15)(x + -0.15) = 0.3025

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.55

(x + -0.15) equal to 0.55 and -0.55.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.15 = 0.55 Simplifying x + -0.15 = 0.55 Reorder the terms: -0.15 + x = 0.55 Solving -0.15 + x = 0.55 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.15' to each side of the equation. -0.15 + 0.15 + x = 0.55 + 0.15 Combine like terms: -0.15 + 0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.55 + 0.15 x = 0.55 + 0.15 Combine like terms: 0.55 + 0.15 = 0.7 x = 0.7 Simplifying x = 0.7

Subproblem 2

x + -0.15 = -0.55 Simplifying x + -0.15 = -0.55 Reorder the terms: -0.15 + x = -0.55 Solving -0.15 + x = -0.55 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.15' to each side of the equation. -0.15 + 0.15 + x = -0.55 + 0.15 Combine like terms: -0.15 + 0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.55 + 0.15 x = -0.55 + 0.15 Combine like terms: -0.55 + 0.15 = -0.4 x = -0.4 Simplifying x = -0.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.7, -0.4}
