Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '410' to each side of the equation.
-410 + 3x + 410 + x2 = 0 + 410

Reorder the terms:
-410 + 410 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 410

Combine like terms: -410 + 410 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 410
3x + x2 = 0 + 410

Combine like terms: 0 + 410 = 410
3x + x2 = 410

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
