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

Divide each side by '-5'.
3.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.6' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -0.2x + -3.6 + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Reorder the terms:
3.6 + -3.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + -3.6
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.6 = -3.6
-0.2x + x2 = -3.6

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 = -3.6 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = -3.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 0.25 = -3.35
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = -3.35

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -3.35

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
