-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-9.5 + 3.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9.5' to each side of the equation.
-9.5 + 3.5k + 9.5 + k2 = 0 + 9.5

Reorder the terms:
-9.5 + 9.5 + 3.5k + k2 = 0 + 9.5

Combine like terms: -9.5 + 9.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.5k + k2 = 0 + 9.5
3.5k + k2 = 0 + 9.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 9.5 = 9.5
3.5k + k2 = 9.5

The k term is 3.5k.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5k + 3.0625 + k2 = 9.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5k + k2 = 9.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 9.5 + 3.0625 = 12.5625
3.0625 + 3.5k + k2 = 12.5625
