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

Divide each side by '-5'.
0.6 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + -2.4x + -0.6 + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Reorder the terms:
0.6 + -0.6 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.6
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.6 = -0.6
-2.4x + x2 = -0.6

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 = -0.6 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = -0.6 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 1.44 = 0.84
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 0.84
