Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-50 + -1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '50' to each side of the equation.
-50 + -1.5x + 50 + x2 = 0 + 50

Reorder the terms:
-50 + 50 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0
0 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 50
-1.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: 0 + 50 = 50
-1.5x + x2 = 50

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 = 50 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 50 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 50 + 0.5625 = 50.5625
0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 50.5625
