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

Divide each side by '5'.
-5 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -0.2x + 5 + x2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 5
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-0.2x + x2 = 5

The x term is -0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 5 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 5 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 5 + 0.01 = 5.01
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 5.01
