Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + -1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -1.2x + 0.8 + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.8
-1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-1.2x + x2 = 0.8

The x term is -1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2x + 0.36 + x2 = 0.8 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 0.8 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.36 = 1.16
0.36 + -1.2x + x2 = 1.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.6)(x + -0.6) = 1.16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.077032961
