4 + -3.5b + -2b2 = 4b + -4b + 2b2 + -2b2

Combine like terms: 4b + -4b = 0
4 + -3.5b + -2b2 = 0 + 2b2 + -2b2
4 + -3.5b + -2b2 = 2b2 + -2b2

Combine like terms: 2b2 + -2b2 = 0
4 + -3.5b + -2b2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2 + 1.75b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 1.75b + 2 + b2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 1.75b + b2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 1.75b + b2 = 0 + 2
1.75b + b2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
1.75b + b2 = 2

The b term is 1.75b.  Take half its coefficient (0.875).
Square it (0.765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.765625' to each side of the equation.
1.75b + 0.765625 + b2 = 2 + 0.765625

Reorder the terms:
0.765625 + 1.75b + b2 = 2 + 0.765625

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.765625 = 2.765625
0.765625 + 1.75b + b2 = 2.765625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + 0.875)(b + 0.875) = 2.765625
