Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2.98'.
-2.5 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -4.5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-4.5x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = 2.5 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 2.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 5.0625 = 7.5625
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 7.5625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2.25) equal to 2.75 and -2.75.

Subproblem 1

x + -2.25 = 2.75 Simplifying x + -2.25 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: -2.25 + x = 2.75 Solving -2.25 + x = 2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -2.25 + 2.25 + x = 2.75 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + 2.25 x = 2.75 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 2.75 + 2.25 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Subproblem 2

x + -2.25 = -2.75 Simplifying x + -2.25 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: -2.25 + x = -2.75 Solving -2.25 + x = -2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -2.25 + 2.25 + x = -2.75 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + 2.25 x = -2.75 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.75 + 2.25 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution
