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 = 2.04
1.44 + 2.4x + x2 = 2.04

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.2)(x + 1.2) = 2.04
