Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-7.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + 0.5x + 7.5 + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
0.5x + x2 = 7.5

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 7.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 7.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 0.0625 = 7.5625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 7.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 7.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.75

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.25) equal to 2.75 and -2.75.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.25 = 2.75 Simplifying x + 0.25 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = 2.75 Solving 0.25 + x = 2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = 2.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + -0.25 x = 2.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 2.75 + -0.25 = 2.5 x = 2.5 Simplifying x = 2.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.25 = -2.75 Simplifying x + 0.25 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = -2.75 Solving 0.25 + x = -2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = -2.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + -0.25 x = -2.75 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -2.75 + -0.25 = -3 x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.5, -3}
