Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.4 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + 3x + 0.4 + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4
3x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
3x + x2 = 0.4

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 0.4 + 2.25
