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

Divide each side by '-2'.
1.4 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.4' to each side of the equation.
1.4 + -2.4x + -1.4 + x2 = 0 + -1.4

Reorder the terms:
1.4 + -1.4 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.4

Combine like terms: 1.4 + -1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.4
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.4 = -1.4
-2.4x + x2 = -1.4

The x term is -2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-2.4x + 1.44 + x2 = -1.4 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = -1.4 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.44 = 0.04
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 0.04

(x + -1.2) equal to 0.2 and -0.2.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.2 = 0.2 Simplifying x + -1.2 = 0.2 Reorder the terms: -1.2 + x = 0.2 Solving -1.2 + x = 0.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.2' to each side of the equation. -1.2 + 1.2 + x = 0.2 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.2 + 1.2 x = 0.2 + 1.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + 1.2 = 1.4 x = 1.4 Simplifying x = 1.4

Subproblem 2

x + -1.2 = -0.2 Simplifying x + -1.2 = -0.2 Reorder the terms: -1.2 + x = -0.2 Solving -1.2 + x = -0.2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.2' to each side of the equation. -1.2 + 1.2 + x = -0.2 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.2 + 1.2 x = -0.2 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 1.2 = 1 x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.4, 1}
