Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-70 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '70' to each side of the equation.
-70 + 1.5x + 70 + x2 = 0 + 70

Reorder the terms:
-70 + 70 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 70

Combine like terms: -70 + 70 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 70
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 70

Combine like terms: 0 + 70 = 70
1.5x + x2 = 70

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 = 70 + 0.5625
