Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-60 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '60' to each side of the equation.
-60 + 1.5x + 60 + x2 = 0 + 60

Reorder the terms:
-60 + 60 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: -60 + 60 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 60
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: 0 + 60 = 60
1.5x + x2 = 60

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 60 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 60 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 60 + 0.5625 = 60.5625
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 60.5625
