Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
5.5 + 5.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation.
5.5 + 5.5x + -5.5 + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Reorder the terms:
5.5 + -5.5 + 5.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5
5.5x + x2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5.5 = -5.5
5.5x + x2 = -5.5

The x term is 5.5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.75).
Square it (7.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '7.5625' to each side of the equation.
5.5x + 7.5625 + x2 = -5.5 + 7.5625

Reorder the terms:
7.5625 + 5.5x + x2 = -5.5 + 7.5625

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 7.5625 = 2.0625
7.5625 + 5.5x + x2 = 2.0625
