Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.4 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 0.8x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
0.8x + x2 = 1.4

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 = 1.4 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 1.4 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 0.16 = 1.56
0.16 + 0.8x + x2 = 1.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.4)(x + 0.4) = 1.56

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.2489996

(x + 0.4) equal to 1.2489996 and -1.2489996.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.4 = 1.2489996 Simplifying x + 0.4 = 1.2489996 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + x = 1.2489996 Solving 0.4 + x = 1.2489996 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + x = 1.2489996 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.2489996 + -0.4 x = 1.2489996 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 1.2489996 + -0.4 = 0.8489996 x = 0.8489996 Simplifying x = 0.8489996

Subproblem 2

x + 0.4 = -1.2489996 Simplifying x + 0.4 = -1.2489996 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + x = -1.2489996 Solving 0.4 + x = -1.2489996 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + x = -1.2489996 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.2489996 + -0.4 x = -1.2489996 + -0.4 Combine like terms: -1.2489996 + -0.4 = -1.6489996 x = -1.6489996 Simplifying x = -1.6489996
