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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 0.5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
0.5x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.0625 = 2.5625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.25) equal to 1.600781059 and -1.600781059.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.25 = 1.600781059 Simplifying x + 0.25 = 1.600781059 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = 1.600781059 Solving 0.25 + x = 1.600781059 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = 1.600781059 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.600781059 + -0.25 x = 1.600781059 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 1.600781059 + -0.25 = 1.350781059 x = 1.350781059 Simplifying x = 1.350781059

Subproblem 2

x + 0.25 = -1.600781059 Simplifying x + 0.25 = -1.600781059 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x = -1.600781059 Solving 0.25 + x = -1.600781059 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + x = -1.600781059 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.600781059 + -0.25 x = -1.600781059 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -1.600781059 + -0.25 = -1.850781059 x = -1.850781059 Simplifying x = -1.850781059
