-1.5 + -2.75x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -2.75x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -2.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-2.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-2.75x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -2.75x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.375).
Square it (1.890625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.890625' to each side of the equation.
-2.75x + 1.890625 + x2 = 1.5 + 1.890625

Reorder the terms:
1.890625 + -2.75x + x2 = 1.5 + 1.890625

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 1.890625 = 3.390625
1.890625 + -2.75x + x2 = 3.390625
