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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-68 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '68' to each side of the equation.
-68 + -1x + 68 + x2 = 0 + 68

Reorder the terms:
-68 + 68 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 68

Combine like terms: -68 + 68 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 68
-1x + x2 = 0 + 68

Combine like terms: 0 + 68 = 68
-1x + x2 = 68

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 = 68 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 68 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 68 + 0.25 = 68.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 68.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 68.25
