5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + 1.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 1.8x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 1.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
1.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
1.8x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is 1.8x.  Take half its coefficient (0.9).
Square it (0.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.81' to each side of the equation.
1.8x + 0.81 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.81

Reorder the terms:
0.81 + 1.8x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.81

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.81 = 2.41
0.81 + 1.8x + x2 = 2.41
