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 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '50' to each side of the equation.
-50 + -4.5x + 50 + x2 = 0 + 50

Reorder the terms:
-50 + 50 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0
0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 50
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + 50

Combine like terms: 0 + 50 = 50
-4.5x + x2 = 50

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = 50 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 50 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 50 + 5.0625 = 55.0625
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 55.0625
