Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is -1.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69
