Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.2 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + -2.4x + -0.2 + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
-2.4x + x2 = -0.2

The x term is -2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-2.4x + 1.44 + x2 = -0.2 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = -0.2 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 1.44 = 1.24
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 1.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.2)(x + -1.2) = 1.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.113552873
