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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-8 + -3.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -3.5n + 8 + n2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -3.5n + n2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -3.5n + n2 = 0 + 8
-3.5n + n2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
-3.5n + n2 = 8

The n term is -3.5n.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5n + 3.0625 + n2 = 8 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5n + n2 = 8 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 8 + 3.0625 = 11.0625
3.0625 + -3.5n + n2 = 11.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -1.75)(n + -1.75) = 11.0625
