Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + -1.7x + -0.6 + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Reorder the terms:
0.6 + -0.6 + -1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.6
-1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.6 = -0.6
-1.7x + x2 = -0.6

The x term is -1.7x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.85).
Square it (0.7225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.7225' to each side of the equation.
-1.7x + 0.7225 + x2 = -0.6 + 0.7225

Reorder the terms:
0.7225 + -1.7x + x2 = -0.6 + 0.7225

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.7225 = 0.1225
0.7225 + -1.7x + x2 = 0.1225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.85)(x + -0.85) = 0.1225

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.85) equal to 0.35 and -0.35.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.85 = 0.35 Simplifying x + -0.85 = 0.35 Reorder the terms: -0.85 + x = 0.35 Solving -0.85 + x = 0.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.85' to each side of the equation. -0.85 + 0.85 + x = 0.35 + 0.85 Combine like terms: -0.85 + 0.85 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.35 + 0.85 x = 0.35 + 0.85 Combine like terms: 0.35 + 0.85 = 1.2 x = 1.2 Simplifying x = 1.2

Subproblem 2

x + -0.85 = -0.35 Simplifying x + -0.85 = -0.35 Reorder the terms: -0.85 + x = -0.35 Solving -0.85 + x = -0.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.85' to each side of the equation. -0.85 + 0.85 + x = -0.35 + 0.85 Combine like terms: -0.85 + 0.85 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.35 + 0.85 x = -0.35 + 0.85 Combine like terms: -0.35 + 0.85 = 0.5 x = 0.5 Simplifying x = 0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.2, 0.5}
