Divide each side by '6'.
-0.1666666667 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.1666666667 + -0.5x + 0.1666666667 + x2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.1666666667 + 0.1666666667 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Combine like terms: -0.1666666667 + 0.1666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.1666666667
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.1666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1666666667 = 0.1666666667
-0.5x + x2 = 0.1666666667

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
