Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5.5 + -2.5h + h2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.5' to each side of the equation.
-5.5 + -2.5h + 5.5 + h2 = 0 + 5.5

Reorder the terms:
-5.5 + 5.5 + -2.5h + h2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.5h + h2 = 0 + 5.5
-2.5h + h2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.5 = 5.5
-2.5h + h2 = 5.5

The h term is -2.5h.  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.
-2.5h + 1.5625 + h2 = 5.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5h + h2 = 5.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 5.5 + 1.5625 = 7.0625
1.5625 + -2.5h + h2 = 7.0625
