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 + -1.6X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -1.6X + 0.2 + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -1.6X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.6X + X2 = 0 + 0.2
-1.6X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-1.6X + X2 = 0.2

The X term is -1.6X.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6X + 0.64 + X2 = 0.2 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6X + X2 = 0.2 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.64 = 0.84
0.64 + -1.6X + X2 = 0.84

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(X + -0.8)(X + -0.8) = 0.84

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.916515139
