Solving for variable 'c'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2 + 2.5c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 2.5c + -2 + c2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 2.5c + c2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 2.5c + c2 = 0 + -2
2.5c + c2 = 0 + -2
