Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-9 + 0.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + 0.5n + 9 + n2 = 0 + 9

Reorder the terms:
-9 + 9 + 0.5n + n2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + 0.5n + n2 = 0 + 9
0.5n + n2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
0.5n + n2 = 9

The n term is n.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
