Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-24.5 + -7k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '24.5' to each side of the equation.
-24.5 + -7k + 24.5 + k2 = 0 + 24.5

Reorder the terms:
-24.5 + 24.5 + -7k + k2 = 0 + 24.5

Combine like terms: -24.5 + 24.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -7k + k2 = 0 + 24.5
-7k + k2 = 0 + 24.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 24.5 = 24.5
-7k + k2 = 24.5

The k term is -7k.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7k + 12.25 + k2 = 24.5 + 12.25
