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

Divide each side by '2'.
-36 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + -0.5x + 36 + x2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 36
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
-0.5x + x2 = 36

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 36 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 36 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 36 + 0.0625 = 36.0625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 36.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 36.0625
