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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

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