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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -2x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
-2x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-2x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
