5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.2 + 0.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + 0.6x + 3.2 + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2
0.6x + x2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
0.6x + x2 = 3.2

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 = 3.2 + 0.09
