9 + 2b + 2b2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
4.5 + b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4.5' to each side of the equation.
4.5 + b + -4.5 + b2 = 0 + -4.5

Reorder the terms:
4.5 + -4.5 + b + b2 = 0 + -4.5

Combine like terms: 4.5 + -4.5 = 0.0
0.0 + b + b2 = 0 + -4.5
b + b2 = 0 + -4.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -4.5 = -4.5
b + b2 = -4.5

The b term is b.  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.
 + 0.25 + b2 = -4.5 + 0.25
