Solving for variable 'b'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 3b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 3b + 0.5 + b2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 3b + b2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3b + b2 = 0 + 0.5
3b + b2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
3b + b2 = 0.5

The b term is 3b.  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.
3b + 2.25 + b2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3b + b2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 2.25 = 2.75
2.25 + 3b + b2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + 1.5)(b + 1.5) = 2.75
