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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + j + j2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + j + 1.6 + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + j + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + j + j2 = 0 + 1.6
j + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
j + j2 = 1.6

The j term is j.  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 + j2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + j2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.25 = 1.85
1.25 + j2 = 1.85

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(j + 0.5)(j + 0.5) = 1.85
