Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 2n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 2n + 0.5 + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 2n + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2n + n2 = 0 + 0.5
2n + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2n + n2 = 0.5

The n term is 2n.  Take half its coefficient (1).
