4 + -4x + -1x + 2x2 = -4 + x + 4 + -1x

Combine like terms: -4x + -1x = -5x
4 + -5x + 2x2 = -4 + x + 4 + -1x

Reorder the terms:
4 + -5x + 2x2 = -4 + 4 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
4 + -5x + 2x2 = 0 + x + -1x
4 + -5x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
4 + -5x + 2x2 = 0

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2.5x + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -2
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-2.5x + x2 = -2

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = -2 + 1.5625
