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

Divide each side by '10'.
0.4 + 1.7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 1.7x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
1.7x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
1.7x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is 1.7x.  Take half its coefficient (0.85).
Square it (0.7225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.7225' to each side of the equation.
1.7x + 0.7225 + x2 = -0.4 + 0.7225

Reorder the terms:
0.7225 + 1.7x + x2 = -0.4 + 0.7225

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.7225 = 0.3225
0.7225 + 1.7x + x2 = 0.3225
