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

Divide each side by '10'.
-1.5 + -0.9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -0.9x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -0.9x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.9x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-0.9x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-0.9x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -0.9x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.45).
Square it (0.2025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.2025' to each side of the equation.
-0.9x + 0.2025 + x2 = 1.5 + 0.2025

Reorder the terms:
0.2025 + -0.9x + x2 = 1.5 + 0.2025

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 0.2025 = 1.7025
0.2025 + -0.9x + x2 = 1.7025

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.45)(x + -0.45) = 1.7025
