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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-81 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '81' to each side of the equation.
-81 + 0.5x + 81 + x2 = 0 + 81

Reorder the terms:
-81 + 81 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 81

Combine like terms: -81 + 81 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 81
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 81

Combine like terms: 0 + 81 = 81
0.5x + x2 = 81

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 81 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 81 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 81 + 0.0625 = 81.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 81.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 81.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.003471553
