Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.75 + -4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation.
1.75 + -4x + -1.75 + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Reorder the terms:
1.75 + -1.75 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -4x + x2 = 0 + -1.75
-4x + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.75 = -1.75
-4x + x2 = -1.75

The x term is -4x.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4x + 4 + x2 = -1.75 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = -1.75 + 4

Combine like terms: -1.75 + 4 = 2.25
4 + -4x + x2 = 2.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2)(x + -2) = 2.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -2 = 1.5 Simplifying x + -2 = 1.5 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = 1.5 Solving -2 + x = 1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + x = 1.5 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + x = 1.5 + 2 x = 1.5 + 2 Combine like terms: 1.5 + 2 = 3.5 x = 3.5 Simplifying x = 3.5

Subproblem 2

x + -2 = -1.5 Simplifying x + -2 = -1.5 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = -1.5 Solving -2 + x = -1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + x = -1.5 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + x = -1.5 + 2 x = -1.5 + 2 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 2 = 0.5 x = 0.5 Simplifying x = 0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.5, 0.5}
