-2 + 9x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
2 + -9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -9x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -2
-9x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-9x + x2 = -2

The x term is -9x.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9x + 20.25 + x2 = -2 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + -9x + x2 = -2 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -2 + 20.25 = 18.25
20.25 + -9x + x2 = 18.25
