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

Divide each side by '-0.4'.
17.5 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-17.5' to each side of the equation.
17.5 + 5x + -17.5 + x2 = 0 + -17.5

Reorder the terms:
17.5 + -17.5 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -17.5

Combine like terms: 17.5 + -17.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -17.5
5x + x2 = 0 + -17.5

5x + x2 = -17.5

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = -17.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = -17.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -17.5 + 6.25 = -11.25
6.25 + 5x + x2 = -11.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = -11.25

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
