Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
15.5 + -9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-15.5' to each side of the equation.
15.5 + -9x + -15.5 + x2 = 0 + -15.5

Reorder the terms:
15.5 + -15.5 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -15.5

Combine like terms: 15.5 + -15.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -15.5
-9x + x2 = 0 + -15.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -15.5 = -15.5
-9x + x2 = -15.5

The x term is -9x.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9x + 20.25 + x2 = -15.5 + 20.25
