Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -3x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
-3x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-3x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -0.5 + 2.25
