Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.8 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation.
0.8 + -3x + -0.8 + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Reorder the terms:
0.8 + -0.8 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.8
-3x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.8 = -0.8
-3x + x2 = -0.8

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.
