1 + -3x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 3x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 1

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

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

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 = 1 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 1 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 2.25 = 3.25
2.25 + 3x + x2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 3.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.5) equal to 1.802775638 and -1.802775638.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.5 = 1.802775638 Simplifying x + 1.5 = 1.802775638 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = 1.802775638 Solving 1.5 + x = 1.802775638 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = 1.802775638 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.802775638 + -1.5 x = 1.802775638 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.802775638 + -1.5 = 0.302775638 x = 0.302775638 Simplifying x = 0.302775638

Subproblem 2

x + 1.5 = -1.802775638 Simplifying x + 1.5 = -1.802775638 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + x = -1.802775638 Solving 1.5 + x = -1.802775638 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + x = -1.802775638 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.802775638 + -1.5 x = -1.802775638 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -1.802775638 + -1.5 = -3.302775638 x = -3.302775638 Simplifying x = -3.302775638
