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

Divide each side by '-4'.
-2.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-2.25 + -0.25x + 2.25 + x2 = 0 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
-2.25 + 2.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.25
-0.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.25 = 2.25
-0.25x + x2 = 2.25

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.
-0.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 2.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 2.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.25 + 0.25 = 2.5
0.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 2.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 2.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.58113883

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.58113883 and -1.58113883.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 1.58113883 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 1.58113883 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 1.58113883 Solving 0.5 + x = 1.58113883 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 1.58113883 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.58113883 + -0.5 x = 1.58113883 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.58113883 + -0.5 = 1.08113883 x = 1.08113883 Simplifying x = 1.08113883

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -1.58113883 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -1.58113883 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -1.58113883 Solving 0.5 + x = -1.58113883 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = -1.58113883 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.58113883 + -0.5 x = -1.58113883 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.58113883 + -0.5 = -2.08113883 x = -2.08113883 Simplifying x = -2.08113883

Solution
