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

Divide each side by '5'.
-5.2 + 4.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.2' to each side of the equation.
-5.2 + 4.4x + 5.2 + x2 = 0 + 5.2

Reorder the terms:
-5.2 + 5.2 + 4.4x + x2 = 0 + 5.2

Combine like terms: -5.2 + 5.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.4x + x2 = 0 + 5.2
4.4x + x2 = 0 + 5.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.2 = 5.2
4.4x + x2 = 5.2

The x term is 4.4x.  Take half its coefficient (2.2).
Square it (4.84) and add it to both sides.
