Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
2 + -1x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -0.5x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + -1
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-0.5x + x2 = -1

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = -1 + 0.0625
