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

Divide each side by '2'.
-29.5 + 4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '29.5' to each side of the equation.
-29.5 + 4.5x + 29.5 + x2 = 0 + 29.5

Reorder the terms:
-29.5 + 29.5 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 29.5

Combine like terms: -29.5 + 29.5 = 0.0
