Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-500 + -3c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '500' to each side of the equation.
-500 + -3c + 500 + c2 = 0 + 500

Reorder the terms:
-500 + 500 + -3c + c2 = 0 + 500

Combine like terms: -500 + 500 = 0
0 + -3c + c2 = 0 + 500
-3c + c2 = 0 + 500

Combine like terms: 0 + 500 = 500
-3c + c2 = 500

The c term is -3c.  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.
-3c + 2.25 + c2 = 500 + 2.25
