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

Divide each side by '2'.
-6 + -1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -1.5x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6
-1.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-1.5x + x2 = 6

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