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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + a + 0.2 + a2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + a + a2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + a + a2 = 0 + 0.2
a + a2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
a + a2 = 0.2

The a term is a.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + a2 = 0.2 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + a2 = 0.2 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.25 = 0.45
1.25 + a2 = 0.45
