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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-3.2 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + -0.8x + 3.2 + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.2
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
-0.8x + x2 = 3.2

The x term is -0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 3.2 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 3.2 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 0.16 = 3.36
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 3.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 3.36
