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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-7.5 + 2.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + 2.5n + 7.5 + n2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + 2.5n + n2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.5n + n2 = 0 + 7.5
2.5n + n2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
2.5n + n2 = 7.5

The n term is 2.5n.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5n + 1.5625 + n2 = 7.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5n + n2 = 7.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 1.5625 = 9.0625
1.5625 + 2.5n + n2 = 9.0625
