5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-14.4 + -1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14.4' to each side of the equation.
-14.4 + -1.2x + 14.4 + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Reorder the terms:
-14.4 + 14.4 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Combine like terms: -14.4 + 14.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2x + x2 = 0 + 14.4
-1.2x + x2 = 0 + 14.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 14.4 = 14.4
-1.2x + x2 = 14.4

The x term is -1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.
