Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 5x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
5x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
5x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.
