Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -3x + -4 + x2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -4
-3x + x2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-3x + x2 = -4

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -4 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -4 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -4 + 2.25 = -1.75
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = -1.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
