Solving for variable 'X'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 4X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 4X + 0.5 + X2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 4X + X2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4X + X2 = 0 + 0.5
4X + X2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
4X + X2 = 0.5

The X term is 4X.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4X + 4 + X2 = 0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4X + X2 = 0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 4 = 4.5
4 + 4X + X2 = 4.5
