Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -1b + 2.5 + b2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -1b + b2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1b + b2 = 0 + 2.5
-1b + b2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-1b + b2 = 2.5

The b term is -1b.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1b + 0.25 + b2 = 2.5 + 0.25
