Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.4 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + -0.8x + 1.4 + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
-0.8x + x2 = 1.4

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 = 1.4 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 1.4 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 0.16 = 1.56
0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 1.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 1.56

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.2489996
