5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-8.6 + -1.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.6' to each side of the equation.
-8.6 + -1.6x + 8.6 + x2 = 0 + 8.6

Reorder the terms:
-8.6 + 8.6 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 8.6

Combine like terms: -8.6 + 8.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.6x + x2 = 0 + 8.6
-1.6x + x2 = 0 + 8.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.6 = 8.6
-1.6x + x2 = 8.6

The x term is -1.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6x + 0.64 + x2 = 8.6 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6x + x2 = 8.6 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 8.6 + 0.64 = 9.24
0.64 + -1.6x + x2 = 9.24
