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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -0.4x + 0.8 + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.8
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-0.4x + x2 = 0.8

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 0.8 + 0.04
