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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.6 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -1x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
-1x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-1x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.25 = 1.85
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.85

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 1.85

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.360147051
