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

Divide each side by '2'.
-25 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '25' to each side of the equation.
-25 + -0.5x + 25 + x2 = 0 + 25

Reorder the terms:
-25 + 25 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 25

Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 25
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 25

Combine like terms: 0 + 25 = 25
-0.5x + x2 = 25

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
