5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
4.2 + 4.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4.2' to each side of the equation.
4.2 + 4.8x + -4.2 + x2 = 0 + -4.2

Reorder the terms:
4.2 + -4.2 + 4.8x + x2 = 0 + -4.2

Combine like terms: 4.2 + -4.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.8x + x2 = 0 + -4.2
4.8x + x2 = 0 + -4.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -4.2 = -4.2
4.8x + x2 = -4.2

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

Add '5.76' to each side of the equation.
4.8x + 5.76 + x2 = -4.2 + 5.76

Reorder the terms:
5.76 + 4.8x + x2 = -4.2 + 5.76

Combine like terms: -4.2 + 5.76 = 1.56
5.76 + 4.8x + x2 = 1.56
