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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + 7.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + 7.5x + -1.5 + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.5
7.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
7.5x + x2 = -1.5

The x term is 7.5x.  Take half its coefficient (3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
7.5x + 14.0625 + x2 = -1.5 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = -1.5 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 14.0625 = 12.5625
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = 12.5625
