Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.8 + k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.8' to each side of the equation.
-2.8 + k + 2.8 + k2 = 0 + 2.8

Reorder the terms:
-2.8 + 2.8 + k + k2 = 0 + 2.8

Combine like terms: -2.8 + 2.8 = 0.0
0.0 + k + k2 = 0 + 2.8
k + k2 = 0 + 2.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.8 = 2.8
k + k2 = 2.8

The k term is k.  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 + k2 = 2.8 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + k2 = 2.8 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.8 + 0.25 = 3.05
1.25 + k2 = 3.05

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 3.05
