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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.75 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.75' to each side of the equation.
-1.75 + -1x + 1.75 + x2 = 0 + 1.75

Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 1.75 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 1.75
-1x + x2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75
-1x + x2 = 1.75

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
