Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-800 + 18x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '800' to each side of the equation.
-800 + 18x + 800 + x2 = 0 + 800

Reorder the terms:
-800 + 800 + 18x + x2 = 0 + 800

Combine like terms: -800 + 800 = 0
0 + 18x + x2 = 0 + 800
18x + x2 = 0 + 800

Combine like terms: 0 + 800 = 800
18x + x2 = 800

The x term is 18x.  Take half its coefficient (9).
Square it (81) and add it to both sides.
