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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4.5 + -5.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.5' to each side of the equation.
-4.5 + -5.5x + 4.5 + x2 = 0 + 4.5

Reorder the terms:
-4.5 + 4.5 + -5.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.5
