5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.4 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.4' to each side of the equation.
-3.4 + 0.8x + 3.4 + x2 = 0 + 3.4

Reorder the terms:
-3.4 + 3.4 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: -3.4 + 3.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.4
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.4 = 3.4
0.8x + x2 = 3.4

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 = 3.4 + 0.16
