Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
14.4 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-14.4' to each side of the equation.
14.4 + 1.2x + -14.4 + x2 = 0 + -14.4

Reorder the terms:
14.4 + -14.4 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -14.4

Combine like terms: 14.4 + -14.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + -14.4
1.2x + x2 = 0 + -14.4

1.2x + x2 = -14.4

The x term is 1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = -14.4 + 0.36
