-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).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
2.2x + 1.21 + x2 = 1.6 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = 1.6 + 1.21

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 1.21 = 2.81
1.21 + 2.2x + x2 = 2.81
