Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + 0.8x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
0.8x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is 0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.16 = 2.36
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 2.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.4)(x + 0.4) = 2.36

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.53622915
