Divide each side by '5'.
-3.6 + -0.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + -0.4k + 3.6 + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + 3.6 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6
-0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.6 = 3.6
-0.4k + k2 = 3.6

The k term is -0.4k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4k + 0.04 + k2 = 3.6 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4k + k2 = 3.6 + 0.04
