Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 1.6x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
1.6x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
1.6x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is 1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = -0.4 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = -0.4 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.64 = 0.24
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 0.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.8)(x + 0.8) = 0.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.489897949
