Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + -4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + -4k + -3.5 + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + -4k + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4k + k2 = 0 + -3.5
-4k + k2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
-4k + k2 = -3.5

The k term is -4k.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
