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

Divide each side by '25'.
0.16 + -0.84a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.16 + -0.84a + -0.16 + a2 = 0 + -0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.16 + -0.84a + a2 = 0 + -0.16

Combine like terms: 0.16 + -0.16 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.84a + a2 = 0 + -0.16
-0.84a + a2 = 0 + -0.16

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.16 = -0.16
-0.84a + a2 = -0.16

The a term is -0.84a.  Take half its coefficient (-0.42).
