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

Divide each side by '5'.
-4.8 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.8' to each side of the equation.
-4.8 + -1x + 4.8 + x2 = 0 + 4.8

Reorder the terms:
-4.8 + 4.8 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4.8

Combine like terms: -4.8 + 4.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4.8
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.8 = 4.8
-1x + x2 = 4.8

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.
