Divide each side by '-5'.
-0.6 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + 1.6x + 0.6 + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.6
1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
1.6x + x2 = 0.6

The x term is 1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
