Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 0.2x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3
0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
0.2x + x2 = 3

The x term is 0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 3 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 3 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.01 = 3.01
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 3.01
