5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.2 + 3.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.2' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + 3.2x + 1.2 + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Reorder the terms:
-1.2 + 1.2 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2
3.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.2 = 1.2
3.2x + x2 = 1.2

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 = 1.2 + 2.56
