Combine like terms: -20x + 20x = 0
-18 + 28x + -5x2 = 0 + 5x2 + -5x2
-18 + 28x + -5x2 = 5x2 + -5x2

Combine like terms: 5x2 + -5x2 = 0
-18 + 28x + -5x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
3.6 + -5.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.6' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -5.6x + -3.6 + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Reorder the terms:
3.6 + -3.6 + -5.6x + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -5.6x + x2 = 0 + -3.6
-5.6x + x2 = 0 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.6 = -3.6
-5.6x + x2 = -3.6

The x term is -5.6x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.8).
Square it (7.84) and add it to both sides.
