5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-64 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '64' to each side of the equation.
-64 + 0.8x + 64 + x2 = 0 + 64

Reorder the terms:
-64 + 64 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: -64 + 64 = 0
0 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 64
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: 0 + 64 = 64
0.8x + x2 = 64

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 = 64 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 64 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 64 + 0.16 = 64.16
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 64.16
