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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-4 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 1.5x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 4
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
1.5x + x2 = 4

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 = 4 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 4 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.5625 = 4.5625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 4.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 4.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936
