Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + -2.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + -2.8x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + -2.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
-2.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
-2.8x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is -2.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.4).
Square it (1.96) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.96' to each side of the equation.
-2.8x + 1.96 + x2 = -0.4 + 1.96

Reorder the terms:
1.96 + -2.8x + x2 = -0.4 + 1.96

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 1.96 = 1.56
1.96 + -2.8x + x2 = 1.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.4)(x + -1.4) = 1.56

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.2489996
