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

Divide each side by '10'.
-1.3 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.3' to each side of the equation.
-1.3 + -0.8x + 1.3 + x2 = 0 + 1.3

Reorder the terms:
-1.3 + 1.3 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.3

Combine like terms: -1.3 + 1.3 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.3
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.3

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.3 = 1.3
-0.8x + x2 = 1.3

The x term is -0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 1.3 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 1.3 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 1.3 + 0.16 = 1.46
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 1.46

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 1.46
