Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
0.5 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -1x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-1x + x2 = -0.5

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 = -0.5 + 0.25
