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

Divide each side by '4'.
0.25 + -1.5a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -1.5a + -0.25 + a2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -1.5a + a2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.5a + a2 = 0 + -0.25
-1.5a + a2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-1.5a + a2 = -0.25

The a term is -1.5a.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
