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

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

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 = 4 + 0.25
