Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.2 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.2' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + -0.4x + 1.2 + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Reorder the terms:
-1.2 + 1.2 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.2
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.2 = 1.2
-0.4x + x2 = 1.2

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 1.2 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.2 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 1.2 + 0.04 = 1.24
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.2)(x + -0.2) = 1.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.113552873
