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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -0.2x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-0.2x + x2 = 1.6

The x term is -0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.01 = 1.61
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 1.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.1)(x + -0.1) = 1.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.268857754
