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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-3.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + -0.5x + 3.5 + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
-0.5x + x2 = 3.5

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 3.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 3.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 0.25 = 3.75
0.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 3.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 3.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.936491673

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.936491673 and -1.936491673.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.936491673 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.936491673 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.936491673 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.936491673 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
