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 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

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 = 1.4 + 0.49

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

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 0.49 = 1.89
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 1.89
