20 + 3x + -1x2 = -3x + 3x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
20 + 3x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
20 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-20 + -3x + x2 = 0

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

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 20 + 2.25
