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

Divide each side by '0.16'.
1.5625 + 2.5c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5625 + 2.5c + -1.5625 + c2 = 0 + -1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -1.5625 + 2.5c + c2 = 0 + -1.5625

Combine like terms: 1.5625 + -1.5625 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 2.5c + c2 = 0 + -1.5625
2.5c + c2 = 0 + -1.5625

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5625 = -1.5625
2.5c + c2 = -1.5625

The c term is 2.5c.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).

(c + 1.25)(c + 1.25) = 0.0000

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.0000

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(c + 1.25) equal to 0.0000 and 0.0000.

Subproblem 1

c + 1.25 = 0.0000 Simplifying c + 1.25 = 0.0000 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + c = 0.0000 Solving 1.25 + c = 0.0000 Solving for variable 'c'. Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + c = 0.0000 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + c = 0.0000 + -1.25 c = 0.0000 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 0.0000 + -1.25 = -1.25 c = -1.25 Simplifying c = -1.25

Subproblem 2

c + 1.25 = 0.0000 Simplifying c + 1.25 = 0.0000 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + c = 0.0000 Solving 1.25 + c = 0.0000 Solving for variable 'c'. Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + c = 0.0000 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + c = 0.0000 + -1.25 c = 0.0000 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 0.0000 + -1.25 = -1.25 c = -1.25 Simplifying c = -1.25
