Solving for variable 'b'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + 0.8b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + 0.8b + 0.8 + b2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + 0.8b + b2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8b + b2 = 0 + 0.8
0.8b + b2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
0.8b + b2 = 0.8

The b term is 0.8b.  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.
0.8b + 0.16 + b2 = 0.8 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8b + b2 = 0.8 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.16 = 0.96
0.16 + 0.8b + b2 = 0.96

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

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.979795897

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(b + 0.4) equal to 0.979795897 and -0.979795897.

Subproblem 1

b + 0.4 = 0.979795897 Simplifying b + 0.4 = 0.979795897 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + b = 0.979795897 Solving 0.4 + b = 0.979795897 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + b = 0.979795897 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + b = 0.979795897 + -0.4 b = 0.979795897 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.979795897 + -0.4 = 0.579795897 b = 0.579795897 Simplifying b = 0.579795897

Subproblem 2

b + 0.4 = -0.979795897 Simplifying b + 0.4 = -0.979795897 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + b = -0.979795897 Solving 0.4 + b = -0.979795897 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + b = -0.979795897 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + b = -0.979795897 + -0.4 b = -0.979795897 + -0.4 Combine like terms: -0.979795897 + -0.4 = -1.379795897 b = -1.379795897 Simplifying b = -1.379795897
