15 + x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-15 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + -1x + 15 + x2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 15
-1x + x2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
-1x + x2 = 15

The x term is x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 15 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 15 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 15 + 0.25 = 15.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 15.25
