Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.25 + -1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -1.5x + -0.25 + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.25
-1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-1.5x + x2 = -0.25

The x term is -1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = -0.25 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = -0.25 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.5625 = 0.3125
0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 0.3125
