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

Divide each side by '-2'.
1 + -4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -4.5x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -4.5x + x2 = 0 + -1
-4.5x + x2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-4.5x + x2 = -1

The x term is -4.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.
