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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 2x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
2x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 0.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = 0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1 = 1.5
1 + 2x + x2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 1.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.224744871

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1) equal to 1.224744871 and -1.224744871.

Subproblem 1

x + 1 = 1.224744871 Simplifying x + 1 = 1.224744871 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = 1.224744871 Solving 1 + x = 1.224744871 Solving for variable 'x'.
