-1 + 6x + -1x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
1 + -6x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -6x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -6x + x2 = 0 + -1

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

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

The x term is -6x.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.
