-40.5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '40.5' to each side of the equation.
-40.5 + -2.5x + 40.5 + x2 = 0 + 40.5

Reorder the terms:
-40.5 + 40.5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 40.5

Combine like terms: -40.5 + 40.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 40.5
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + 40.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 40.5 = 40.5
-2.5x + x2 = 40.5

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 = 40.5 + 1.5625
