-4 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x
-4 + -1x + x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-4 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1x + x2 = 4

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4 + 0.25
