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 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -1x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-1x + x2 = 2.5

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.25 = 2.75
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 2.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395
