Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + 4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 4x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 4x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
4x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
4x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is 4x.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.
