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

Divide each side by '4'.
4.25 + 6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4.25' to each side of the equation.
4.25 + 6x + -4.25 + x2 = 0 + -4.25

Reorder the terms:
4.25 + -4.25 + 6x + x2 = 0 + -4.25

Combine like terms: 4.25 + -4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 6x + x2 = 0 + -4.25
6x + x2 = 0 + -4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -4.25 = -4.25
6x + x2 = -4.25

The x term is 6x.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6x + 9 + x2 = -4.25 + 9
