Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + -7x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -7x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -7x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -7x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
-7x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-7x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is -7x.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7x + 12.25 + x2 = -0.5 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7x + x2 = -0.5 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 12.25 = 11.75
12.25 + -7x + x2 = 11.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -3.5)(x + -3.5) = 11.75
