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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-3.5 + -6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + -6x + 3.5 + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 3.5
-6x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
-6x + x2 = 3.5

The x term is -6x.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-6x + 9 + x2 = 3.5 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + -6x + x2 = 3.5 + 9

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 9 = 12.5
9 + -6x + x2 = 12.5
