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

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

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

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + x2 = -1.5 + 0.25
