Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2.5'.
-3.2 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + -2.4x + 3.2 + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 3.2
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
-2.4x + x2 = 3.2

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 = 3.2 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 3.2 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 1.44 = 4.64
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 4.64
