Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.6 + -1.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.6' to each side of the equation.
-2.6 + -1.4k + 2.6 + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Reorder the terms:
-2.6 + 2.6 + -1.4k + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Combine like terms: -2.6 + 2.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4k + k2 = 0 + 2.6
-1.4k + k2 = 0 + 2.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.6 = 2.6
-1.4k + k2 = 2.6

The k term is -1.4k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4k + 0.49 + k2 = 2.6 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4k + k2 = 2.6 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.6 + 0.49 = 3.09
0.49 + -1.4k + k2 = 3.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + -0.7)(k + -0.7) = 3.09

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.757839583
