2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
5.5 + 8.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation.
5.5 + 8.5x + -5.5 + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Reorder the terms:
5.5 + -5.5 + 8.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 8.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5
8.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5.5 = -5.5
8.5x + x2 = -5.5

The x term is 8.5x.  Take half its coefficient (4.25).
