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'.
24 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + -1x + -24 + x2 = 0 + -24

Reorder the terms:
24 + -24 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -24
-1x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24
-1x + x2 = -24

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 = -24 + 0.25
