Solving for variable 'j'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + -1j + j2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -1j + 1.6 + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -1j + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1j + j2 = 0 + 1.6
-1j + j2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-1j + j2 = 1.6

The j term is -1j.  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.
-1j + 0.25 + j2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1j + j2 = 1.6 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.25 = 1.85
0.25 + -1j + j2 = 1.85

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

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.360147051

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(j + -0.5) equal to 1.360147051 and -1.360147051.

Subproblem 1

j + -0.5 = 1.360147051 Simplifying j + -0.5 = 1.360147051 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + j = 1.360147051 Solving -0.5 + j = 1.360147051 Solving for variable 'j'. Move all terms containing j to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + j = 1.360147051 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + j = 1.360147051 + 0.5 j = 1.360147051 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.360147051 + 0.5 = 1.860147051 j = 1.860147051 Simplifying j = 1.860147051

Subproblem 2

j + -0.5 = -1.360147051 Simplifying j + -0.5 = -1.360147051 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + j = -1.360147051 Solving -0.5 + j = -1.360147051 Solving for variable 'j'. Move all terms containing j to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + j = -1.360147051 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + j = -1.360147051 + 0.5 j = -1.360147051 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.360147051 + 0.5 = -0.860147051 j = -0.860147051 Simplifying j = -0.860147051
