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

Divide each side by '2.38'.
-1.5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -2.5x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-2.5x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 1.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 1.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 1.5625 = 3.0625
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 3.0625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.25) equal to 1.75 and -1.75.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.25 = 1.75 Simplifying x + -1.25 = 1.75 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + x = 1.75 Solving -1.25 + x = 1.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + x = 1.75 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.75 + 1.25 x = 1.75 + 1.25 Combine like terms: 1.75 + 1.25 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

x + -1.25 = -1.75 Simplifying x + -1.25 = -1.75 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + x = -1.75 Solving -1.25 + x = -1.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + x = -1.75 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.75 + 1.25 x = -1.75 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.25 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3, -0.5}
