8 + -15x + 6x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '6'.
1.333333333 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.333333333' to each side of the equation.
1.333333333 + -2.5x + -1.333333333 + x2 = 0 + -1.333333333

Reorder the terms:
1.333333333 + -1.333333333 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.333333333

Combine like terms: 1.333333333 + -1.333333333 = 0.000000000
0.000000000 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.333333333
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + -1.333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.333333333 = -1.333333333
-2.5x + x2 = -1.333333333

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
