0.2 + 2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + 2.4x + -0.2 + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + 2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2
2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
2.4x + x2 = -0.2

The x term is 2.4x.  Take half its coefficient (1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.
