Solving for variable 'd'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4 + 2.5d + d2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 2.5d + 4 + d2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 2.5d + d2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 2.5d + d2 = 0 + 4
2.5d + d2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
2.5d + d2 = 4

The d term is 2.5d.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5d + 1.5625 + d2 = 4 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5d + d2 = 4 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 4 + 1.5625 = 5.5625
1.5625 + 2.5d + d2 = 5.5625
