Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation.
0.1 + -0.4x2 + -0.1 + x4 = 0 + -0.1

Reorder the terms:
0.1 + -0.1 + -0.4x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.1

Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.1
-0.4x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.1

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.1 = -0.1
-0.4x2 + x4 = -0.1

The x term is -0.4x2.  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.
-0.4x2 + 0.04 + x4 = -0.1 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x2 + x4 = -0.1 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.04 = -0.06
0.04 + -0.4x2 + x4 = -0.06

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x2 + -0.2)(x2 + -0.2) = -0.06

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
