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

Divide each side by '-1'.
7 + -9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -9x + -7 + x2 = 0 + -7

Reorder the terms:
7 + -7 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -9x + x2 = 0 + -7
-9x + x2 = 0 + -7
