Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2.5 + -4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -4k + -2.5 + k2 = 0 + -2.5

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + -2.5 + -4k + k2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4k + k2 = 0 + -2.5
-4k + k2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.5 = -2.5
-4k + k2 = -2.5

The k term is -4k.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4k + 4 + k2 = -2.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4k + k2 = -2.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 4 = 1.5
4 + -4k + k2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + -2)(k + -2) = 1.5
