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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.4 + -1.3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + -1.3x + 0.4 + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + -1.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4
-1.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
-1.3x + x2 = 0.4

The x term is -1.3x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.65).
Square it (0.4225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.4225' to each side of the equation.
-1.3x + 0.4225 + x2 = 0.4 + 0.4225

Reorder the terms:
0.4225 + -1.3x + x2 = 0.4 + 0.4225

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.4225 = 0.8225
0.4225 + -1.3x + x2 = 0.8225
