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

Divide each side by '2.5'.
-33.6 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '33.6' to each side of the equation.
-33.6 + 0.4x + 33.6 + x2 = 0 + 33.6

Reorder the terms:
-33.6 + 33.6 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 33.6

Combine like terms: -33.6 + 33.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 33.6
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 33.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 33.6 = 33.6
0.4x + x2 = 33.6

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.4x + 0.25 + x2 = 33.6 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.4x + x2 = 33.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 33.6 + 0.25 = 33.85
0.25 + 0.4x + x2 = 33.85
