-160 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '160' to each side of the equation.
-160 + 3x + 160 + x2 = 0 + 160

Reorder the terms:
-160 + 160 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 160

Combine like terms: -160 + 160 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 160
3x + x2 = 0 + 160

Combine like terms: 0 + 160 = 160
3x + x2 = 160

The x term is 3x.  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.
3x + 2.25 + x2 = 160 + 2.25
