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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 1.5x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 2
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
1.5x + x2 = 2

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 2 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 2 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.5625 = 2.5625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 2.5625
