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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.6 + 3.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + 3.2x + 0.6 + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.6
3.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
3.2x + x2 = 0.6

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 = 0.6 + 2.56

Reorder the terms:
2.56 + 3.2x + x2 = 0.6 + 2.56

Combine like terms: 0.6 + 2.56 = 3.16
2.56 + 3.2x + x2 = 3.16
