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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-2.4 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.4' to each side of the equation.
-2.4 + 0.4x + 2.4 + x2 = 0 + 2.4

Reorder the terms:
-2.4 + 2.4 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.4

Combine like terms: -2.4 + 2.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.4
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.4 = 2.4
0.4x + x2 = 2.4

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 = 2.4 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 2.4 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 2.4 + 0.04 = 2.44
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 2.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.2)(x + 0.2) = 2.44
