Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-0.2 + 0.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + 0.4k + 0.2 + k2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + 0.4k + k2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4k + k2 = 0 + 0.2
0.4k + k2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
0.4k + k2 = 0.2

The k term is 0.4k.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4k + 0.04 + k2 = 0.2 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4k + k2 = 0.2 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.04 = 0.24
0.04 + 0.4k + k2 = 0.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.2)(k + 0.2) = 0.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.489897949
