Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + -1.4x + 0.4 + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
-1.4x + x2 = 0.4

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 = 0.4 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 0.4 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.49 = 0.89
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 0.89

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 0.89

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.943398113
