Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-30 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '30' to each side of the equation.
-30 + 1.5x + 30 + x2 = 0 + 30

Reorder the terms:
-30 + 30 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 30

Combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0
0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 30
1.5x + x2 = 0 + 30

Combine like terms: 0 + 30 = 30
1.5x + x2 = 30

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