Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -0.5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-0.5x + x2 = 2.5

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.0625 = 2.5625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059
