5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + 1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + 1.6x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
1.6x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
1.6x + x2 = 2.2

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 = 2.2 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.64 = 2.84
0.64 + 1.6x + x2 = 2.84
