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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 0.5x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
0.5x + x2 = 2

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 = 2 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 2 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.25 = 2.25
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 2.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.


Subproblem 1
x + 0.5 = 1.5

Simplifying
x + 0.5 = 1.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + x = 1.5

Solving
0.5 + x = 1.5

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 = 1.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.5 + -0.5
x = 1.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -0.5 = 1
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1


Subproblem 2
x + 0.5 = -1.5

Simplifying
x + 0.5 = -1.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + x = -1.5

Solving
0.5 + x = -1.5

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 = -1.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.5 + -0.5
x = -1.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + -0.5 = -2
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2


Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {1, -2}
