Move the constant term to the right:

Add '21' to each side of the equation.
-21 + -1x + 21 + x2 = 0 + 21

Reorder the terms:
-21 + 21 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 21
-1x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: 0 + 21 = 21
-1x + x2 = 21

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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 21 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 21 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 21 + 0.25 = 21.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 21.25
