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 + -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.
