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

Divide each side by '4'.
1.75 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation.
1.75 + 5x + -1.75 + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Reorder the terms:
1.75 + -1.75 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75

Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75
5x + x2 = 0 + -1.75
