Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
60 + 33k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-60' to each side of the equation.
60 + 33k + -60 + k2 = 0 + -60

Reorder the terms:
60 + -60 + 33k + k2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 60 + -60 = 0
0 + 33k + k2 = 0 + -60
33k + k2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 0 + -60 = -60
33k + k2 = -60

The k term is 33k.  Take half its coefficient (16.5).
Square it (272.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '272.25' to each side of the equation.
33k + 272.25 + k2 = -60 + 272.25

Reorder the terms:
272.25 + 33k + k2 = -60 + 272.25

Combine like terms: -60 + 272.25 = 212.25
272.25 + 33k + k2 = 212.25
