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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + 3.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 3.6x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 3.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
3.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
3.6x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is 3.6x.  Take half its coefficient (1.8).
Square it (3.24) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.24' to each side of the equation.
3.6x + 3.24 + x2 = -0.4 + 3.24

Reorder the terms:
3.24 + 3.6x + x2 = -0.4 + 3.24

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 3.24 = 2.84
3.24 + 3.6x + x2 = 2.84
