2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + 3.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 3.5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
3.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
