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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.72 + -1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.72' to each side of the equation.
-0.72 + -1.6x + 0.72 + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Reorder the terms:
-0.72 + 0.72 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Combine like terms: -0.72 + 0.72 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.72
-1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.72

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.72 = 0.72
-1.6x + x2 = 0.72

The x term is -1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = 0.72 + 0.64
