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

Divide each side by '25'.
0.88 + -3.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.88' to each side of the equation.
0.88 + -3.2x + -0.88 + x2 = 0 + -0.88

Reorder the terms:
0.88 + -0.88 + -3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.88

Combine like terms: 0.88 + -0.88 = 0.00
0.00 + -3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.88
-3.2x + x2 = 0 + -0.88

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.88 = -0.88
-3.2x + x2 = -0.88

The x term is -3.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.6).
Square it (2.56) and add it to both sides.
