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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.4 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + -0.2x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
-0.2x + x2 = 1.4

The x term is x.  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.
-0.2x + 0.25 + x2 = 1.4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 0.25 = 1.65
0.25 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.65

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 1.65

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.284523258

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.284523258 and -1.284523258.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.284523258 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.284523258 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.284523258 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.284523258 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
