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

Divide each side by '4'.
-2 + -0.75x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -0.75x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -0.75x + x2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -0.75x + x2 = 0 + 2
-0.75x + x2 = 0 + 2
