Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.4'.
-14 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + 2.5x + 14 + x2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 14
2.5x + x2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
2.5x + x2 = 14

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.
2.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 14 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 2.5x + x2 = 14 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 14 + 0.25 = 14.25
0.25 + 2.5x + x2 = 14.25
