Solving for variable 'X'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + 0.8X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + 0.8X + 0.8 + X2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + 0.8X + X2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8X + X2 = 0 + 0.8
0.8X + X2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
0.8X + X2 = 0.8

The X term is 0.8X.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8X + 0.16 + X2 = 0.8 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8X + X2 = 0.8 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.16 = 0.96
0.16 + 0.8X + X2 = 0.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(X + 0.4)(X + 0.4) = 0.96

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.979795897
