Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
0.25 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -3x + -0.25 + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -0.25
-3x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-3x + x2 = -0.25

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -0.25 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -0.25 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 2.25 = 2
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 2
