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

Divide each side by '20'.
0.4 + -1.35b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + -1.35b + -0.4 + b2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + -1.35b + b2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.35b + b2 = 0 + -0.4
-1.35b + b2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
-1.35b + b2 = -0.4

The b term is -1.35b.  Take half its coefficient (-0.675).
