-1 + 6x + -3x2 = 0 + 3x2 + -3x2
-1 + 6x + -3x2 = 3x2 + -3x2

Combine like terms: 3x2 + -3x2 = 0
-1 + 6x + -3x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-3 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-3'.
0.3333333333 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.3333333333' to each side of the equation.
0.3333333333 + -2x + -0.3333333333 + x2 = 0 + -0.3333333333

Reorder the terms:
0.3333333333 + -0.3333333333 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.3333333333

Combine like terms: 0.3333333333 + -0.3333333333 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.3333333333
-2x + x2 = 0 + -0.3333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.3333333333 = -0.3333333333
-2x + x2 = -0.3333333333

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
