Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + 5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + 5k + 1.25 + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + 5k + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 5k + k2 = 0 + 1.25
5k + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
5k + k2 = 1.25

The k term is 5k.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5k + 6.25 + k2 = 1.25 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5k + k2 = 1.25 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 6.25 = 7.5
6.25 + 5k + k2 = 7.5
