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

Divide each side by '0.005'.
100 + -30x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-100' to each side of the equation.
100 + -30x + -100 + x2 = 0 + -100

Reorder the terms:
100 + -100 + -30x + x2 = 0 + -100

Combine like terms: 100 + -100 = 0
0 + -30x + x2 = 0 + -100
-30x + x2 = 0 + -100

Combine like terms: 0 + -100 = -100
-30x + x2 = -100

The x term is -30x.  Take half its coefficient (-15).
Square it (225) and add it to both sides.

Add '225' to each side of the equation.
-30x + 225 + x2 = -100 + 225

Reorder the terms:
225 + -30x + x2 = -100 + 225

Combine like terms: -100 + 225 = 125
225 + -30x + x2 = 125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -15)(x + -15) = 125
