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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
6.4 + 18x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-6.4' to each side of the equation.
6.4 + 18x + -6.4 + x2 = 0 + -6.4

Reorder the terms:
6.4 + -6.4 + 18x + x2 = 0 + -6.4

Combine like terms: 6.4 + -6.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 18x + x2 = 0 + -6.4
18x + x2 = 0 + -6.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -6.4 = -6.4
18x + x2 = -6.4

The x term is 18x.  Take half its coefficient (9).
