Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '6'.
-0.1666666667 + -1k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.1666666667 + -1k + 0.1666666667 + k2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.1666666667 + 0.1666666667 + -1k + k2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Combine like terms: -0.1666666667 + 0.1666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -1k + k2 = 0 + 0.1666666667
-1k + k2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1666666667 = 0.1666666667
-1k + k2 = 0.1666666667

The k term is -1k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1k + 0.25 + k2 = 0.1666666667 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1k + k2 = 0.1666666667 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.1666666667 + 0.25 = 0.4166666667
0.25 + -1k + k2 = 0.4166666667
