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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-0.64 + 1.6n + 0.64 + n2 = 0 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
-0.64 + 0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.64 + 0.64 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + 0.64
1.6n + n2 = 0 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.64 = 0.64
1.6n + n2 = 0.64

The n term is 1.6n.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6n + 0.64 + n2 = 0.64 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = 0.64 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.64 + 0.64 = 1.28
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = 1.28

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + 0.8)(n + 0.8) = 1.28
