Solving for variable 'd'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-1 + d + d2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + d + 1 + d2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + d + d2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + d + d2 = 0 + 1
d + d2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
d + d2 = 1

The d term is d.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + d2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + d2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + d2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(d + 0.5)(d + 0.5) = 1.25
