Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3 + -1.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -1.5k + 3 + k2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -1.5k + k2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -1.5k + k2 = 0 + 3
-1.5k + k2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-1.5k + k2 = 3

The k term is -1.5k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
