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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.7 + -1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + -1.2x + 0.7 + x2 = 0 + 0.7

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + 0.7 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.7
-1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.7

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.7 = 0.7
-1.2x + x2 = 0.7

The x term is -1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = 0.7 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 0.7 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 0.7 + 0.36 = 1.06
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 1.06
