-16 + 5x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-8 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 2.5x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 8
