Divide each side by '5'.
-7.2 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.2' to each side of the equation.
-7.2 + -0.8x + 7.2 + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Reorder the terms:
-7.2 + 7.2 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Combine like terms: -7.2 + 7.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 7.2
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 7.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.2 = 7.2
-0.8x + x2 = 7.2

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 = 7.2 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 7.2 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 7.2 + 0.16 = 7.36
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 7.36
