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

Divide each side by '2'.
-10.5 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + -3x + 10.5 + x2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 10.5
