Solving
12 + -5x + x2 = 0.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + -0.5 + -5x + x2 = 0.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 12 + -0.5 = 11.5
11.5 + -5x + x2 = 0.5 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
11.5 + -5x + x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-11.5' to each side of the equation.
11.5 + -5x + -11.5 + x2 = 0.0 + -11.5

Reorder the terms:
11.5 + -11.5 + -5x + x2 = 0.0 + -11.5

Combine like terms: 11.5 + -11.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5x + x2 = 0.0 + -11.5
-5x + x2 = 0.0 + -11.5

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -11.5 = -11.5
-5x + x2 = -11.5

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5x + 6.25 + x2 = -11.5 + 6.25
