Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-14.4 + -0.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14.4' to each side of the equation.
-14.4 + -0.6x + 14.4 + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Reorder the terms:
-14.4 + 14.4 + -0.6x + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Combine like terms: -14.4 + 14.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.6x + x2 = 0 + 14.4
-0.6x + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 14.4 = 14.4
-0.6x + x2 = 14.4

The x term is -0.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.3).
Square it (0.09) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09' to each side of the equation.
-0.6x + 0.09 + x2 = 14.4 + 0.09

Reorder the terms:
0.09 + -0.6x + x2 = 14.4 + 0.09

Combine like terms: 14.4 + 0.09 = 14.49
0.09 + -0.6x + x2 = 14.49

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.3)(x + -0.3) = 14.49
