Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-4.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.25' to each side of the equation.
-4.25 + 0.25x + 4.25 + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Reorder the terms:
-4.25 + 4.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: -4.25 + 4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 4.25
0.25x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.25 = 4.25
0.25x + x2 = 4.25

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 4.5
