Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
4 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + 0.5x + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -4
0.5x + x2 = 0 + -4
