Divide each side by '15'.
-0.6666666667 + 0.8x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.6666666667 + 0.8x + 0.6666666667 + x2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.6666666667 + 0.6666666667 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Combine like terms: -0.6666666667 + 0.6666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + 0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.6666666667
0.8x + x2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6666666667 = 0.6666666667
0.8x + x2 = 0.6666666667

The x term is 0.8x.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
