Divide each side by '5'.
1.6 + 2.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.6' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + 2.2x + -1.6 + x2 = 0 + -1.6

Reorder the terms:
1.6 + -1.6 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 1.6 + -1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.6
2.2x + x2 = 0 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.6 = -1.6
2.2x + x2 = -1.6

The x term is 2.2x.  Take half its coefficient (1.1).
