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

Divide each side by '5'.
-20 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 1.6x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 20
1.6x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
1.6x + x2 = 20

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 = 20 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 20 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 20 + 0.64 = 20.64
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 20.64
