Solving for variable 'X'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + -1.2X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -1.2X + 0.2 + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -1.2X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2X + X2 = 0 + 0.2
-1.2X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-1.2X + X2 = 0.2

The X term is -1.2X.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2X + 0.36 + X2 = 0.2 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2X + X2 = 0.2 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.36 = 0.56
0.36 + -1.2X + X2 = 0.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(X + -0.6)(X + -0.6) = 0.56

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.748331477
