-0.975 + 0.975 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.975

Combine like terms: -0.975 + 0.975 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.975
0.3x + x2 = 0 + 0.975

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.975 = 0.975
0.3x + x2 = 0.975

The x term is 0.3x.  Take half its coefficient (0.15).
Square it (0.0225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0225' to each side of the equation.
0.3x + 0.0225 + x2 = 0.975 + 0.0225
