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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -0.5x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-0.5x + x2 = 2

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 = 2 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 2 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.0625 = 2.0625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 2.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 2.0625
