2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 4x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
4x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
4x + x2 = 0.5

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 = 0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4x + x2 = 0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 4 = 4.5
4 + 4x + x2 = 4.5
