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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.6 + 8.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 8.2x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 8.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 8.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
8.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
8.2x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is 8.2x.  Take half its coefficient (4.1).
Square it (16.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '16.81' to each side of the equation.
8.2x + 16.81 + x2 = 1.6 + 16.81

Reorder the terms:
16.81 + 8.2x + x2 = 1.6 + 16.81

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 16.81 = 18.41
16.81 + 8.2x + x2 = 18.41
