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

Divide each side by '4'.
1.5 + -3.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -3.25x + -1.5 + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + -3.25x + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.25x + x2 = 0 + -1.5
-3.25x + x2 = 0 + -1.5
