Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 4x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
4x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
4x + x2 = 1.5

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 = 1.5 + 4
