5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
13.2 + 8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-13.2' to each side of the equation.
13.2 + 8x + -13.2 + x2 = 0 + -13.2

Reorder the terms:
13.2 + -13.2 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -13.2

Combine like terms: 13.2 + -13.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -13.2
8x + x2 = 0 + -13.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -13.2 = -13.2
8x + x2 = -13.2

The x term is 8x.  Take half its coefficient (4).
