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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4.5
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4.5

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

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.
