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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -2.5x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4
