Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + -1.2x + -0.2 + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.2
-1.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
-1.2x + x2 = -0.2

The x term is -1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = -0.2 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = -0.2 + 0.36

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.36 = 0.16
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 0.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.6)(x + -0.6) = 0.16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.6) equal to 0.4 and -0.4.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.6 = 0.4 Simplifying x + -0.6 = 0.4 Reorder the terms: -0.6 + x = 0.4 Solving -0.6 + x = 0.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.6' to each side of the equation. -0.6 + 0.6 + x = 0.4 + 0.6 Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.4 + 0.6 x = 0.4 + 0.6 Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.6 = 1 x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Subproblem 2

x + -0.6 = -0.4 Simplifying x + -0.6 = -0.4 Reorder the terms: -0.6 + x = -0.4 Solving -0.6 + x = -0.4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.6' to each side of the equation. -0.6 + 0.6 + x = -0.4 + 0.6 Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.4 + 0.6 x = -0.4 + 0.6 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.6 = 0.2 x = 0.2 Simplifying x = 0.2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1, 0.2}
