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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-18.2 + x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '18.2' to each side of the equation.
-18.2 + x + 18.2 + x2 = 0 + 18.2

Reorder the terms:
-18.2 + 18.2 + x + x2 = 0 + 18.2

Combine like terms: -18.2 + 18.2 = 0.0
0.0 + x + x2 = 0 + 18.2
x + x2 = 0 + 18.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 18.2 = 18.2
x + x2 = 18.2

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.
