Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + k + 0.8 + k2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + k + k2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + k + k2 = 0 + 0.8
k + k2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
k + k2 = 0.8

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 = 0.8 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + k2 = 0.8 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.25 = 1.05
1.25 + k2 = 1.05

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 1.05

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.024695077

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 0.5) equal to 1.024695077 and -1.024695077.

Subproblem 1

k + 0.5 = 1.024695077 Simplifying k + 0.5 = 1.024695077 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + k = 1.024695077 Solving 0.5 + k = 1.024695077 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + k = 1.024695077 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 1.024695077 + -0.5 k = 1.024695077 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.024695077 + -0.5 = 0.524695077 k = 0.524695077 Simplifying k = 0.524695077
