Solving for variable 'd'.

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

Divide each side by '0.8'.
-143.75 + 3d + d2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '143.75' to each side of the equation.
-143.75 + 3d + 143.75 + d2 = 0 + 143.75

Reorder the terms:
-143.75 + 143.75 + 3d + d2 = 0 + 143.75

Combine like terms: -143.75 + 143.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 3d + d2 = 0 + 143.75
3d + d2 = 0 + 143.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 143.75 = 143.75
3d + d2 = 143.75

The d term is 3d.  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.
3d + 2.25 + d2 = 143.75 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3d + d2 = 143.75 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 143.75 + 2.25 = 146
2.25 + 3d + d2 = 146

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(d + 1.5)(d + 1.5) = 146
