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 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -3x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
-3x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-3x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 2.25 = 2.75
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 2.75
