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

Divide each side by '4'.
-4.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.25' to each side of the equation.
-4.25 + -0.5x + 4.25 + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Reorder the terms:
-4.25 + 4.25 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: -4.25 + 4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.25
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.25 = 4.25
-0.5x + x2 = 4.25

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 4.25 + 0.0625
