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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + -3.5a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -3.5a + 0.5 + a2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -3.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.5
-3.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-3.5a + a2 = 0.5

The a term is -3.5a.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
