Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
2.4 + -3.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.4' to each side of the equation.
2.4 + -3.6x + -2.4 + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Reorder the terms:
2.4 + -2.4 + -3.6x + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 2.4 + -2.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.6x + x2 = 0 + -2.4
-3.6x + x2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.4 = -2.4
-3.6x + x2 = -2.4

The x term is -3.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.8).
Square it (3.24) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.24' to each side of the equation.
-3.6x + 3.24 + x2 = -2.4 + 3.24

Reorder the terms:
3.24 + -3.6x + x2 = -2.4 + 3.24

Combine like terms: -2.4 + 3.24 = 0.84
3.24 + -3.6x + x2 = 0.84
