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 + 3.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + 3.4x + -0.2 + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + 3.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2
3.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
3.4x + x2 = -0.2

The x term is 3.4x.  Take half its coefficient (1.7).
Square it (2.89) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.89' to each side of the equation.
3.4x + 2.89 + x2 = -0.2 + 2.89

Reorder the terms:
2.89 + 3.4x + x2 = -0.2 + 2.89

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 2.89 = 2.69
2.89 + 3.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.7)(x + 1.7) = 2.69
