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.
