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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.8 + 0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.8' to each side of the equation.
-1.8 + 0.4x + 1.8 + x2 = 0 + 1.8

Reorder the terms:
-1.8 + 1.8 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.8

Combine like terms: -1.8 + 1.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.8
0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.8 = 1.8
0.4x + x2 = 1.8

The x term is 0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 1.8 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 1.8 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 1.8 + 0.04 = 1.84
0.04 + 0.4x + x2 = 1.84

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.2)(x + 0.2) = 1.84

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.356465997
