-6.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.5' to each side of the equation.
-6.5 + -0.5x + 6.5 + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Reorder the terms:
-6.5 + 6.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.5 = 6.5
-0.5x + x2 = 6.5

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 6.5 + 0.0625
