Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
48 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-48' to each side of the equation.
48 + -2x + -48 + x2 = 0 + -48

Reorder the terms:
48 + -48 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -48

Combine like terms: 48 + -48 = 0
0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -48
-2x + x2 = 0 + -48
