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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.4 + 4.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 4.2x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + 4.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
4.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
4.2x + x2 = 1.4

The x term is 4.2x.  Take half its coefficient (2.1).
Square it (4.41) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.41' to each side of the equation.
4.2x + 4.41 + x2 = 1.4 + 4.41

Reorder the terms:
4.41 + 4.2x + x2 = 1.4 + 4.41

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 4.41 = 5.81
4.41 + 4.2x + x2 = 5.81
