Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.77' to each side of the equation.
-0.77 + -0.4x + 0.77 + x2 = 0 + 0.77

Reorder the terms:
-0.77 + 0.77 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.77

Combine like terms: -0.77 + 0.77 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.77
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.77

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.77 = 0.77
-0.4x + x2 = 0.77

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 0.77 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.77 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.77 + 0.04 = 0.81
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.81

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.2)(x + -0.2) = 0.81

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.9

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.2) equal to 0.9 and -0.9.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.2 = 0.9 Simplifying x + -0.2 = 0.9 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + x = 0.9 Solving -0.2 + x = 0.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + x = 0.9 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.9 + 0.2 x = 0.9 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 0.9 + 0.2 = 1.1 x = 1.1 Simplifying x = 1.1

Subproblem 2

x + -0.2 = -0.9 Simplifying x + -0.2 = -0.9 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + x = -0.9 Solving -0.2 + x = -0.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + x = -0.9 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.9 + 0.2 x = -0.9 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.2 = -0.7 x = -0.7 Simplifying x = -0.7

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.1, -0.7}
