Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-27.5 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '27.5' to each side of the equation.
-27.5 + -1x + 27.5 + x2 = 0 + 27.5

Reorder the terms:
-27.5 + 27.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 27.5

Combine like terms: -27.5 + 27.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 27.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 27.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 27.5 = 27.5
-1x + x2 = 27.5

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.
