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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.15 + -0.4b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.15' to each side of the equation.
-0.15 + -0.4b + 0.15 + b2 = 0 + 0.15

Reorder the terms:
-0.15 + 0.15 + -0.4b + b2 = 0 + 0.15

Combine like terms: -0.15 + 0.15 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.4b + b2 = 0 + 0.15
-0.4b + b2 = 0 + 0.15

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.15 = 0.15
-0.4b + b2 = 0.15

The b term is -0.4b.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.
