Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The x term is -1x.  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 = 3 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 3 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 3.25
