Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.1 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.1' to each side of the equation.
-1.1 + 1.2x + 1.1 + x2 = 0 + 1.1

Reorder the terms:
-1.1 + 1.1 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.1

Combine like terms: -1.1 + 1.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.1
1.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.1 = 1.1
1.2x + x2 = 1.1

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 = 1.1 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 1.1 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 1.1 + 0.36 = 1.46
0.36 + 1.2x + x2 = 1.46

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.6)(x + 0.6) = 1.46
