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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.04 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.04 + 0.8x + 0.04 + x2 = 0 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
-0.04 + 0.04 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.04
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.04 = 0.04
0.8x + x2 = 0.04

The x term is 0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 0.04 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.04 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.04 + 0.16 = 0.2
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 0.2
