Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.8 + -2.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation.
0.8 + -2.2x + -0.8 + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Reorder the terms:
0.8 + -0.8 + -2.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.8
-2.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.8 = -0.8
-2.2x + x2 = -0.8

The x term is -2.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.1).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
-2.2x + 1.21 + x2 = -0.8 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = -0.8 + 1.21

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 1.21 = 0.41
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = 0.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.1)(x + -1.1) = 0.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.640312424
