2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.7 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.7' to each side of the equation.
-2.7 + 0.5x + 2.7 + x2 = 0 + 2.7

Reorder the terms:
-2.7 + 2.7 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.7

Combine like terms: -2.7 + 2.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.7
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.7

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.7 = 2.7
0.5x + x2 = 2.7

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 = 2.7 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.7 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.7 + 0.25 = 2.95
0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.95
