Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.6 + 1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 1.4x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 1.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
1.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
1.4x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is 1.4x.  Take half its coefficient (0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + 1.4x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.49 = 2.09
0.49 + 1.4x + x2 = 2.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.7)(x + 0.7) = 2.09

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.445683229

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.7) equal to 1.445683229 and -1.445683229.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.7 = 1.445683229 Simplifying x + 0.7 = 1.445683229 Reorder the terms: 0.7 + x = 1.445683229 Solving 0.7 + x = 1.445683229 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation. 0.7 + -0.7 + x = 1.445683229 + -0.7 Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.445683229 + -0.7 x = 1.445683229 + -0.7 Combine like terms: 1.445683229 + -0.7 = 0.745683229 x = 0.745683229 Simplifying x = 0.745683229

Subproblem 2

x + 0.7 = -1.445683229 Simplifying x + 0.7 = -1.445683229 Reorder the terms: 0.7 + x = -1.445683229 Solving 0.7 + x = -1.445683229 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation. 0.7 + -0.7 + x = -1.445683229 + -0.7 Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.445683229 + -0.7 x = -1.445683229 + -0.7 Combine like terms: -1.445683229 + -0.7 = -2.145683229 x = -2.145683229 Simplifying x = -2.145683229
