Solution for -x^2+x-2=0 equation:


Simplifying
-1x2 + x + -2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2 + x + -1x2 = 0

Solving
-2 + x + -1x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -1x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -2
-1x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x + x2 = -2

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