5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
0.6 + 3.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + 3.8x + -0.6 + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Reorder the terms:
0.6 + -0.6 + 3.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.6

Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.6
3.8x + x2 = 0 + -0.6
