5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.6 + 0.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + 0.6x + 3.6 + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + 3.6 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.6
0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.6 = 3.6
0.6x + x2 = 3.6

The x term is 0.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.3).
Square it (0.09) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09' to each side of the equation.
0.6x + 0.09 + x2 = 3.6 + 0.09

Reorder the terms:
0.09 + 0.6x + x2 = 3.6 + 0.09

Combine like terms: 3.6 + 0.09 = 3.69
0.09 + 0.6x + x2 = 3.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.3)(x + 0.3) = 3.69
