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

Divide each side by '1.25'.
7.2 + -5.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.2' to each side of the equation.
7.2 + -5.6x + -7.2 + x2 = 0 + -7.2

Reorder the terms:
7.2 + -7.2 + -5.6x + x2 = 0 + -7.2

Combine like terms: 7.2 + -7.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -5.6x + x2 = 0 + -7.2
-5.6x + x2 = 0 + -7.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -7.2 = -7.2
-5.6x + x2 = -7.2

The x term is -5.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.8).
Square it (7.84) and add it to both sides.

Add '7.84' to each side of the equation.
-5.6x + 7.84 + x2 = -7.2 + 7.84

Reorder the terms:
7.84 + -5.6x + x2 = -7.2 + 7.84

Combine like terms: -7.2 + 7.84 = 0.64
7.84 + -5.6x + x2 = 0.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.8)(x + -2.8) = 0.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.8

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2.8) equal to 0.8 and -0.8.

Subproblem 1

x + -2.8 = 0.8 Simplifying x + -2.8 = 0.8 Reorder the terms: -2.8 + x = 0.8 Solving -2.8 + x = 0.8 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.8' to each side of the equation. -2.8 + 2.8 + x = 0.8 + 2.8 Combine like terms: -2.8 + 2.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.8 + 2.8 x = 0.8 + 2.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + 2.8 = 3.6 x = 3.6 Simplifying x = 3.6

Subproblem 2

x + -2.8 = -0.8 Simplifying x + -2.8 = -0.8 Reorder the terms: -2.8 + x = -0.8 Solving -2.8 + x = -0.8 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.8' to each side of the equation. -2.8 + 2.8 + x = -0.8 + 2.8 Combine like terms: -2.8 + 2.8 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.8 + 2.8 x = -0.8 + 2.8 Combine like terms: -0.8 + 2.8 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.6, 2}
