Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + 3.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + 3.2x + 0.2 + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2
3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
3.2x + x2 = 0.2

The x term is 3.2x.  Take half its coefficient (1.6).
Square it (2.56) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.56' to each side of the equation.
3.2x + 2.56 + x2 = 0.2 + 2.56

Reorder the terms:
2.56 + 3.2x + x2 = 0.2 + 2.56

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 2.56 = 2.76
2.56 + 3.2x + x2 = 2.76

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.6)(x + 1.6) = 2.76
