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

Divide each side by '2'.
-210 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '210' to each side of the equation.
-210 + 2.5x + 210 + x2 = 0 + 210

Reorder the terms:
-210 + 210 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 210

Combine like terms: -210 + 210 = 0
0 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 210
2.5x + x2 = 0 + 210

Combine like terms: 0 + 210 = 210
2.5x + x2 = 210

The x term is 2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 210 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 210 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 210 + 1.5625 = 211.5625
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 211.5625
