Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2.5 + -5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -5n + -2.5 + n2 = 0 + -2.5

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + -2.5 + -5n + n2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5n + n2 = 0 + -2.5
-5n + n2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.5 = -2.5
-5n + n2 = -2.5

The n term is -5n.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5n + 6.25 + n2 = -2.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5n + n2 = -2.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 6.25 = 3.75
6.25 + -5n + n2 = 3.75
