-1 + -9x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -4.5x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-4.5x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5x + 5.0625 + x2 = 0.5 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 0.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 5.0625 = 5.5625
5.0625 + -4.5x + x2 = 5.5625
