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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.4 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + -2.4x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
-2.4x + x2 = 1.4

The x term is -2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.2).
