Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-11.5 + -9n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '11.5' to each side of the equation.
-11.5 + -9n + 11.5 + n2 = 0 + 11.5

Reorder the terms:
-11.5 + 11.5 + -9n + n2 = 0 + 11.5

Combine like terms: -11.5 + 11.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -9n + n2 = 0 + 11.5
-9n + n2 = 0 + 11.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 11.5 = 11.5
-9n + n2 = 11.5

The n term is -9n.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9n + 20.25 + n2 = 11.5 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + -9n + n2 = 11.5 + 20.25

Combine like terms: 11.5 + 20.25 = 31.75
20.25 + -9n + n2 = 31.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -4.5)(n + -4.5) = 31.75
