Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-21.45 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '21.45' to each side of the equation.
-21.45 + 0.5x + 21.45 + x2 = 0 + 21.45

Reorder the terms:
-21.45 + 21.45 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 21.45

Combine like terms: -21.45 + 21.45 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 21.45
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 21.45

Combine like terms: 0 + 21.45 = 21.45
0.5x + x2 = 21.45

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 21.45 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 21.45 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 21.45 + 0.25 = 21.7
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 21.7
