Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2.5'.
-16 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 1.6x + 16 + x2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 16
1.6x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
1.6x + x2 = 16

The x term is 1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = 16 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 16 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 16 + 0.64 = 16.64
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 16.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.8)(x + 0.8) = 16.64
