-5 + -22x + 10x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.5 + -2.2x + x2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -2.2x + 0.5 + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -2.2x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.2x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5
-2.2x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-2.2x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is -2.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.1).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
-2.2x + 1.21 + x2 = 0.5 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = 0.5 + 1.21

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1.21 = 1.71
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = 1.71

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.1)(x + -1.1) = 1.71
