1.2 + x + -1x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1.2 + -1x + x2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.2' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + -1x + 1.2 + x2 = 0.0 + 1.2

Reorder the terms:
-1.2 + 1.2 + -1x + x2 = 0.0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0.0 + 1.2
-1x + x2 = 0.0 + 1.2

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 1.2 = 1.2
-1x + x2 = 1.2

The x term is x.  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 = 1.2 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.2 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.2 + 0.25 = 1.45
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.45
