5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + -0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -0.8x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
-0.8x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-0.8x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is -0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.16
