-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
5 + -6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -6x + -5 + x2 = 0 + -5

Reorder the terms:
5 + -5 + -6x + x2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -6x + x2 = 0 + -5
-6x + x2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-6x + x2 = -5

The x term is -6x.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.
