Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
0.8 + -2.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation.
0.8 + -2.4x + -0.8 + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Reorder the terms:
0.8 + -0.8 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.8
-2.4x + x2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.8 = -0.8
-2.4x + x2 = -0.8

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

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-2.4x + 1.44 + x2 = -0.8 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = -0.8 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 1.44 = 0.64
1.44 + -2.4x + x2 = 0.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.2)(x + -1.2) = 0.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.8

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.2) equal to 0.8 and -0.8.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.2 = 0.8 Simplifying x + -1.2 = 0.8 Reorder the terms: -1.2 + x = 0.8 Solving -1.2 + x = 0.8 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.2' to each side of the equation. -1.2 + 1.2 + x = 0.8 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.8 + 1.2 x = 0.8 + 1.2 Combine like terms: 0.8 + 1.2 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Subproblem 2

x + -1.2 = -0.8 Simplifying x + -1.2 = -0.8 Reorder the terms: -1.2 + x = -0.8 Solving -1.2 + x = -0.8 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.2' to each side of the equation. -1.2 + 1.2 + x = -0.8 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.8 + 1.2 x = -0.8 + 1.2 Combine like terms: -0.8 + 1.2 = 0.4 x = 0.4 Simplifying x = 0.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2, 0.4}
