Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.2 + -2.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.2' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + -2.2x + 1.2 + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Reorder the terms:
-1.2 + 1.2 + -2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2
-2.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.2 = 1.2
-2.2x + x2 = 1.2

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 = 1.2 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = 1.2 + 1.21

Combine like terms: 1.2 + 1.21 = 2.41
1.21 + -2.2x + x2 = 2.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.1)(x + -1.1) = 2.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.55241747
