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

Divide each side by '15'.
-0.06666666667 + 0.6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.06666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.06666666667 + 0.6x + 0.06666666667 + x2 = 0 + 0.06666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.06666666667 + 0.06666666667 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.06666666667

Combine like terms: -0.06666666667 + 0.06666666667 = 0.00000000000
0.00000000000 + 0.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.06666666667
0.6x + x2 = 0 + 0.06666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.06666666667 = 0.06666666667
0.6x + x2 = 0.06666666667

The x term is 0.6x.  Take half its coefficient (0.3).
Square it (0.09) and add it to both sides.
