Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.2 + 1.6z + z2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + 1.6z + -0.2 + z2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + 1.6z + z2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6z + z2 = 0 + -0.2
1.6z + z2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
1.6z + z2 = -0.2

The z term is 1.6z.  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.
1.6z + 0.64 + z2 = -0.2 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6z + z2 = -0.2 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.64 = 0.44
0.64 + 1.6z + z2 = 0.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + 0.8)(z + 0.8) = 0.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.663324958

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(z + 0.8) equal to 0.663324958 and -0.663324958.

Subproblem 1

z + 0.8 = 0.663324958 Simplifying z + 0.8 = 0.663324958 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + z = 0.663324958 Solving 0.8 + z = 0.663324958 Solving for variable 'z'. Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + z = 0.663324958 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + z = 0.663324958 + -0.8 z = 0.663324958 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.663324958 + -0.8 = -0.136675042 z = -0.136675042 Simplifying z = -0.136675042

Subproblem 2

z + 0.8 = -0.663324958 Simplifying z + 0.8 = -0.663324958 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + z = -0.663324958 Solving 0.8 + z = -0.663324958 Solving for variable 'z'. Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + z = -0.663324958 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + z = -0.663324958 + -0.8 z = -0.663324958 + -0.8 Combine like terms: -0.663324958 + -0.8 = -1.463324958 z = -1.463324958 Simplifying z = -1.463324958

Solution
