Solving for variable 'd'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-6.5 + 2d + d2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.5' to each side of the equation.
-6.5 + 2d + 6.5 + d2 = 0 + 6.5

Reorder the terms:
-6.5 + 6.5 + 2d + d2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2d + d2 = 0 + 6.5
2d + d2 = 0 + 6.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.5 = 6.5
2d + d2 = 6.5

The d term is 2d.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2d + 1 + d2 = 6.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2d + d2 = 6.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 6.5 + 1 = 7.5
1 + 2d + d2 = 7.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(d + 1)(d + 1) = 7.5
