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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.34 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.34' to each side of the equation.
-0.34 + -2.4x + 0.34 + x2 = 0 + 0.34

Reorder the terms:
-0.34 + 0.34 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.34

Combine like terms: -0.34 + 0.34 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.34
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.34

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.34 = 0.34
-2.4x + x2 = 0.34

The x term is -2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-2.4x + 1.44 + x2 = 0.34 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 0.34 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 0.34 + 1.44 = 1.78
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 1.78

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.2)(x + -1.2) = 1.78
