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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-64 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '64' to each side of the equation.
-64 + -4.5x + 64 + x2 = 0 + 64

Reorder the terms:
-64 + 64 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: -64 + 64 = 0
0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 64
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + 64

Combine like terms: 0 + 64 = 64
-4.5x + x2 = 64

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = 64 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 64 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 64 + 5.0625 = 69.0625
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 69.0625
