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

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-18 + 4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 4x + 18 + x2 = 0 + 18

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 18 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 18
4x + x2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: 0 + 18 = 18
4x + x2 = 18

The x term is 4x.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4x + 4 + x2 = 18 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4x + x2 = 18 + 4

Combine like terms: 18 + 4 = 22
4 + 4x + x2 = 22

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2)(x + 2) = 22
