-79 + -6.4x + -0.16x2 = 0.0 + 0.16x2 + -0.16x2
-79 + -6.4x + -0.16x2 = 0.16x2 + -0.16x2

Combine like terms: 0.16x2 + -0.16x2 = 0.00
-79 + -6.4x + -0.16x2 = 0.00

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

Divide each side by '-0.16'.
493.75 + 40x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-493.75' to each side of the equation.
493.75 + 40x + -493.75 + x2 = 0 + -493.75
