Solving for variable 'z'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 3z + 15 + z2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + 3z + z2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 3z + z2 = 0 + 15
3z + z2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
3z + z2 = 15

The z term is 3z.  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.
3z + 2.25 + z2 = 15 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3z + z2 = 15 + 2.25
