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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4.5 + 2.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.5' to each side of the equation.
-4.5 + 2.5n + 4.5 + n2 = 0 + 4.5

Reorder the terms:
-4.5 + 4.5 + 2.5n + n2 = 0 + 4.5

Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.5n + n2 = 0 + 4.5
2.5n + n2 = 0 + 4.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.5 = 4.5
2.5n + n2 = 4.5

The n term is 2.5n.  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.
2.5n + 1.5625 + n2 = 4.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5n + n2 = 4.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 4.5 + 1.5625 = 6.0625
1.5625 + 2.5n + n2 = 6.0625
