Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -5x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-5x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.
