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

Divide each side by '10'.
-1.4 + -0.1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + -0.1x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
-0.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
-0.1x + x2 = 1.4

The x term is -0.1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.05).
Square it (0.0025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0025' to each side of the equation.
-0.1x + 0.0025 + x2 = 1.4 + 0.0025

Reorder the terms:
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 1.4 + 0.0025

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 0.0025 = 1.4025
0.0025 + -0.1x + x2 = 1.4025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.05)(x + -0.05) = 1.4025
