Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.25 + -0.9n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -0.9n + 0.25 + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -0.9n + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.9n + n2 = 0 + 0.25
-0.9n + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-0.9n + n2 = 0.25

The n term is -0.9n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.45).
Square it (0.2025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.2025' to each side of the equation.
-0.9n + 0.2025 + n2 = 0.25 + 0.2025

Reorder the terms:
0.2025 + -0.9n + n2 = 0.25 + 0.2025

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.2025 = 0.4525
0.2025 + -0.9n + n2 = 0.4525

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.45)(n + -0.45) = 0.4525

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.672681202

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + -0.45) equal to 0.672681202 and -0.672681202.

Subproblem 1

n + -0.45 = 0.672681202 Simplifying n + -0.45 = 0.672681202 Reorder the terms: -0.45 + n = 0.672681202 Solving -0.45 + n = 0.672681202 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.45' to each side of the equation. -0.45 + 0.45 + n = 0.672681202 + 0.45 Combine like terms: -0.45 + 0.45 = 0.00 0.00 + n = 0.672681202 + 0.45 n = 0.672681202 + 0.45 Combine like terms: 0.672681202 + 0.45 = 1.122681202 n = 1.122681202 Simplifying n = 1.122681202

Subproblem 2
