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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-1.7 + 0.7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.
-1.7 + 0.7x + 1.7 + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Reorder the terms:
-1.7 + 1.7 + 0.7x + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.7x + x2 = 0 + 1.7
0.7x + x2 = 0 + 1.7

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.7 = 1.7
0.7x + x2 = 1.7

The x term is 0.7x.  Take half its coefficient (0.35).
Square it (0.1225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.1225' to each side of the equation.
0.7x + 0.1225 + x2 = 1.7 + 0.1225

Reorder the terms:
0.1225 + 0.7x + x2 = 1.7 + 0.1225

Combine like terms: 1.7 + 0.1225 = 1.8225
0.1225 + 0.7x + x2 = 1.8225

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.35)(x + 0.35) = 1.8225

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.35

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.35) equal to 1.35 and -1.35.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.35 = 1.35 Simplifying x + 0.35 = 1.35 Reorder the terms: 0.35 + x = 1.35 Solving 0.35 + x = 1.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.35' to each side of the equation. 0.35 + -0.35 + x = 1.35 + -0.35 Combine like terms: 0.35 + -0.35 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.35 + -0.35 x = 1.35 + -0.35 Combine like terms: 1.35 + -0.35 = 1 x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Subproblem 2

x + 0.35 = -1.35 Simplifying x + 0.35 = -1.35 Reorder the terms: 0.35 + x = -1.35 Solving 0.35 + x = -1.35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.35' to each side of the equation. 0.35 + -0.35 + x = -1.35 + -0.35 Combine like terms: 0.35 + -0.35 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.35 + -0.35 x = -1.35 + -0.35 Combine like terms: -1.35 + -0.35 = -1.7 x = -1.7 Simplifying x = -1.7

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1, -1.7}
