The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 1024 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1024 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1024 + 0.25 = 1024.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1024.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 1024.25
