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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.6 + -0.8k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.6' to each side of the equation.
-2.6 + -0.8k + 2.6 + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Reorder the terms:
-2.6 + 2.6 + -0.8k + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Combine like terms: -2.6 + 2.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8k + k2 = 0 + 2.6
-0.8k + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.6 = 2.6
-0.8k + k2 = 2.6

The k term is -0.8k.  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.
-0.8k + 0.16 + k2 = 2.6 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8k + k2 = 2.6 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 2.6 + 0.16 = 2.76
0.16 + -0.8k + k2 = 2.76
