Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-50 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '50' to each side of the equation.
-50 + 2.5x + 50 + x2 = 0 + 50

Reorder the terms:
-50 + 50 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0
0 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 50
2.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: 0 + 50 = 50
2.5x + x2 = 50

The x term is 2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 50 + 1.5625
