Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.32 + -1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.32' to each side of the equation.
-0.32 + -1.6x + 0.32 + x2 = 0 + 0.32

Reorder the terms:
-0.32 + 0.32 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.32

Combine like terms: -0.32 + 0.32 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.32
-1.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.32

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.32 = 0.32
-1.6x + x2 = 0.32

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 = 0.32 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6x + x2 = 0.32 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.32 + 0.64 = 0.96
0.64 + -1.6x + x2 = 0.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.8)(x + -0.8) = 0.96
