Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.5 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -0.2x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-0.2x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x + 0.25 + x2 = 1.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 0.25 = 1.75
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.75
