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

Divide each side by '2'.
-6.5 + -3b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.5' to each side of the equation.
-6.5 + -3b + 6.5 + b2 = 0 + 6.5

Reorder the terms:
-6.5 + 6.5 + -3b + b2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3b + b2 = 0 + 6.5
-3b + b2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.5 = 6.5
-3b + b2 = 6.5

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 = 6.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3b + b2 = 6.5 + 2.25
