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

Divide each side by '0.8'.
-156.25 + -3d + d2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '156.25' to each side of the equation.
-156.25 + -3d + 156.25 + d2 = 0 + 156.25

Reorder the terms:
-156.25 + 156.25 + -3d + d2 = 0 + 156.25

Combine like terms: -156.25 + 156.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -3d + d2 = 0 + 156.25
-3d + d2 = 0 + 156.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 156.25 = 156.25
-3d + d2 = 156.25

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 = 156.25 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3d + d2 = 156.25 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 156.25 + 2.25 = 158.5
2.25 + -3d + d2 = 158.5
