Divide each side by '5'.
1.6 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.6' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + -2.4x + -1.6 + x2 = 0 + -1.6

Reorder the terms:
1.6 + -1.6 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 1.6 + -1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.6
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + -1.6
