Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + -2x + 10.5 + x2 = 0.0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + -2x + x2 = 0.0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2x + x2 = 0.0 + 10.5
-2x + x2 = 0.0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 10.5 = 10.5
-2x + x2 = 10.5

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2x + 1 + x2 = 10.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2x + x2 = 10.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 1 = 11.5
1 + -2x + x2 = 11.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1)(x + -1) = 11.5
