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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.6 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -0.4x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-0.4x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is -0.4x.  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.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.04 = 1.64
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.64
