Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2.5 + 9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + 9x + -2.5 + x2 = 0 + -2.5

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + -2.5 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -2.5
9x + x2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.5 = -2.5
9x + x2 = -2.5

The x term is 9x.  Take half its coefficient (4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
9x + 20.25 + x2 = -2.5 + 20.25
