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

Divide each side by '15'.
-0.2666666667 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.2666666667 + -0.4x + 0.2666666667 + x2 = 0 + 0.2666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.2666666667 + 0.2666666667 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.2666666667

Combine like terms: -0.2666666667 + 0.2666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.2666666667
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.2666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2666666667 = 0.2666666667
-0.4x + x2 = 0.2666666667

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
