%281.90x10%5E%28-2%29%29=%28x%5E2%29%2F%28.295-x%29
0.019%2A%280.295-x%29=x%5E2
x%5E2=0.005605-0.0190x
x%5E2%2B0.019x-0.005605=0
Use the quadratic formula,
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-0.019+%2B-+sqrt%28+%280.019%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A%28-0.005605%29+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+%28-0.019+%2B-+sqrt%28+0.022781+%29%29%2F%282%29+
