Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.8 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.8' to each side of the equation.
-2.8 + -0.8x + 2.8 + x2 = 0 + 2.8

Reorder the terms:
-2.8 + 2.8 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.8

Combine like terms: -2.8 + 2.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.8
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 2.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.8 = 2.8
-0.8x + x2 = 2.8

The x term is -0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 2.8 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 2.8 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 2.8 + 0.16 = 2.96
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 2.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 2.96
