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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x + x2 = 0 + 2.5
x + x2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
x + x2 = 2.5

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
