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

Divide each side by '10'.
-1.5 + -3.1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -3.1x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -3.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-3.1x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-3.1x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -3.1x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.55).
Square it (2.4025) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.4025' to each side of the equation.
-3.1x + 2.4025 + x2 = 1.5 + 2.4025

Reorder the terms:
2.4025 + -3.1x + x2 = 1.5 + 2.4025

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 2.4025 = 3.9025
2.4025 + -3.1x + x2 = 3.9025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.55)(x + -1.55) = 3.9025

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.975474627
