Simplifying
2k(k + 3) = -15

Reorder the terms:
2k(3 + k) = -15
(3 * 2k + k * 2k) = -15
(6k + 2k2) = -15

Solving
6k + 2k2 = -15

Solving for variable 'k'.

Reorder the terms:
15 + 6k + 2k2 = -15 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
15 + 6k + 2k2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
7.5 + 3k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation.
7.5 + 3k + -7.5 + k2 = 0 + -7.5

Reorder the terms:
7.5 + -7.5 + 3k + k2 = 0 + -7.5
