Divide each side by '15'.
-0.1333333333 + 1.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1333333333' to each side of the equation.
-0.1333333333 + 1.2x + 0.1333333333 + x2 = 0 + 0.1333333333

Reorder the terms:
-0.1333333333 + 0.1333333333 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1333333333

Combine like terms: -0.1333333333 + 0.1333333333 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + 1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1333333333
1.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.1333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1333333333 = 0.1333333333
1.2x + x2 = 0.1333333333

The x term is 1.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.6).
