1.25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '1.25'.
16.8 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16.8' to each side of the equation.
16.8 + 1.6x + -16.8 + x2 = 0 + -16.8

Reorder the terms:
16.8 + -16.8 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -16.8

Combine like terms: 16.8 + -16.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -16.8
1.6x + x2 = 0 + -16.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -16.8 = -16.8
1.6x + x2 = -16.8

The x term is 1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = -16.8 + 0.64

0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = -16.8 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -16.8 + 0.64 = -16.16
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = -16.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.8)(x + 0.8) = -16.16

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
