4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '4'.
1.75 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation.
1.75 + 5x + -1.75 + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Reorder the terms:
1.75 + -1.75 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75
5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.75 = -1.75
5x + x2 = -1.75

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

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = -1.75 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = -1.75 + 6.25
