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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + 2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + 2.4x + 0.4 + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + 2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4
2.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
2.4x + x2 = 0.4

The x term is 2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
2.4x + 1.44 + x2 = 0.4 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + 2.4x + x2 = 0.4 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 1.44 = 1.84
1.44 + 2.4x + x2 = 1.84
