2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-6.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.5' to each side of the equation.
-6.5 + 1.5x + 6.5 + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Reorder the terms:
-6.5 + 6.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.5 = 6.5
1.5x + x2 = 6.5

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 6.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 6.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 6.5 + 0.5625 = 7.0625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 7.0625
