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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + -3.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + -3.2x + -0.4 + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + -3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.4
-3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
-3.2x + x2 = -0.4

The x term is -3.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.6).
Square it (2.56) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.56' to each side of the equation.
-3.2x + 2.56 + x2 = -0.4 + 2.56
