Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-154 + -3n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '154' to each side of the equation.
-154 + -3n + 154 + n2 = 0 + 154

Reorder the terms:
-154 + 154 + -3n + n2 = 0 + 154

Combine like terms: -154 + 154 = 0
0 + -3n + n2 = 0 + 154
-3n + n2 = 0 + 154

Combine like terms: 0 + 154 = 154
-3n + n2 = 154

The n term is -3n.  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.
-3n + 2.25 + n2 = 154 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3n + n2 = 154 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 154 + 2.25 = 156.25
2.25 + -3n + n2 = 156.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -1.5)(n + -1.5) = 156.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 12.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + -1.5) equal to 12.5 and -12.5.

Subproblem 1

n + -1.5 = 12.5 Simplifying n + -1.5 = 12.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + n = 12.5 Solving -1.5 + n = 12.5 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + n = 12.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + n = 12.5 + 1.5 n = 12.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 12.5 + 1.5 = 14 n = 14 Simplifying n = 14

Subproblem 2

n + -1.5 = -12.5 Simplifying n + -1.5 = -12.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + n = -12.5 Solving -1.5 + n = -12.5 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + n = -12.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + n = -12.5 + 1.5 n = -12.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 1.5 = -11 n = -11 Simplifying n = -11

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. n = {14, -11}
