Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-3 + -0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -0.25x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 3
-0.25x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-0.25x + x2 = 3

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.
-0.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 3 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 3 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25
0.25 + -0.25x + x2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 3.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638
