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

Divide each side by '-1'.
2 + -5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -5x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -2
-5x + x2 = 0 + -2
