Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2.5 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 5x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
5x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
5x + x2 = 2.5

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 = 2.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 2.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 6.25 = 8.75
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 8.75
