Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-3 + 0.75x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 0.75x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 0.75x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 0.75x + x2 = 0 + 3
0.75x + x2 = 0 + 3
