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

Divide each side by '5'.
-7.2 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.2' to each side of the equation.
-7.2 + -0.4x + 7.2 + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Reorder the terms:
-7.2 + 7.2 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Combine like terms: -7.2 + 7.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 7.2
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.2 = 7.2
-0.4x + x2 = 7.2

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 7.2 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 7.2 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 7.2 + 0.04 = 7.24
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 7.24
