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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-2.4 + 0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The x term is 0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 2.4 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 2.4 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 2.4 + 0.01 = 2.41
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 2.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.1)(x + 0.1) = 2.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.55241747

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.1) equal to 1.55241747 and -1.55241747.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.1 = 1.55241747 Simplifying x + 0.1 = 1.55241747 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = 1.55241747 Solving 0.1 + x = 1.55241747 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = 1.55241747 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.55241747 + -0.1 x = 1.55241747 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 1.55241747 + -0.1 = 1.45241747 x = 1.45241747 Simplifying x = 1.45241747

Subproblem 2

x + 0.1 = -1.55241747 Simplifying x + 0.1 = -1.55241747 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = -1.55241747 Solving 0.1 + x = -1.55241747 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = -1.55241747 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.55241747 + -0.1 x = -1.55241747 + -0.1 Combine like terms: -1.55241747 + -0.1 = -1.65241747 x = -1.65241747 Simplifying x = -1.65241747

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.45241747, -1.65241747}
