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

Divide each side by '3.2'.
0.25 + 2.5X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + 2.5X + -0.25 + X2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + 2.5X + X2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 2.5X + X2 = 0 + -0.25
2.5X + X2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
2.5X + X2 = -0.25

The X term is 2.5X.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
