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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-36 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + 1.5x + 36 + x2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 36
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
1.5x + x2 = 36

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 36 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 36 + 0.5625
