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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.48 + 0.64x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.48' to each side of the equation.
-0.48 + 0.64x + 0.48 + x2 = 0 + 0.48

Reorder the terms:
-0.48 + 0.48 + 0.64x + x2 = 0 + 0.48

Combine like terms: -0.48 + 0.48 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.64x + x2 = 0 + 0.48
0.64x + x2 = 0 + 0.48

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.48 = 0.48
0.64x + x2 = 0.48

The x term is 0.64x.  Take half its coefficient (0.32).
Square it (0.1024) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.1024' to each side of the equation.
0.64x + 0.1024 + x2 = 0.48 + 0.1024

Reorder the terms:
0.1024 + 0.64x + x2 = 0.48 + 0.1024

Combine like terms: 0.48 + 0.1024 = 0.5824
0.1024 + 0.64x + x2 = 0.5824
