Divide each side by '2'.
-8.5 + -6.5c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.5' to each side of the equation.
-8.5 + -6.5c + 8.5 + c2 = 0 + 8.5

Reorder the terms:
-8.5 + 8.5 + -6.5c + c2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: -8.5 + 8.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6.5c + c2 = 0 + 8.5
-6.5c + c2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.5 = 8.5
-6.5c + c2 = 8.5

The c term is -6.5c.  Take half its coefficient (-3.25).
Square it (10.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '10.5625' to each side of the equation.
-6.5c + 10.5625 + c2 = 8.5 + 10.5625

Reorder the terms:
10.5625 + -6.5c + c2 = 8.5 + 10.5625

Combine like terms: 8.5 + 10.5625 = 19.0625
10.5625 + -6.5c + c2 = 19.0625
