Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-15 + -1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + -1.5x + 15 + x2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15
-1.5x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
-1.5x + x2 = 15

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