Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2.5'.
-16 + -2.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + -2.8x + 16 + x2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + -2.8x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + -2.8x + x2 = 0 + 16
-2.8x + x2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
-2.8x + x2 = 16

The x term is -2.8x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.4).
Square it (1.96) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.96' to each side of the equation.
-2.8x + 1.96 + x2 = 16 + 1.96

Reorder the terms:
1.96 + -2.8x + x2 = 16 + 1.96

Combine like terms: 16 + 1.96 = 17.96
1.96 + -2.8x + x2 = 17.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.4)(x + -1.4) = 17.96

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.23792402
