Divide each side by '5'.
2.4 + 4.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.4' to each side of the equation.
2.4 + 4.8x + -2.4 + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Reorder the terms:
2.4 + -2.4 + 4.8x + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 2.4 + -2.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.8x + x2 = 0 + -2.4
4.8x + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.4 = -2.4
4.8x + x2 = -2.4

The x term is 4.8x.  Take half its coefficient (2.4).
Square it (5.76) and add it to both sides.
