Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 3x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 20
3x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
3x + x2 = 20

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 = 20 + 2.25
