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 + -1n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -1n + 0.5 + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 0.5
-1n + n2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-1n + n2 = 0.5

The n term is -1n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1n + 0.25 + n2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 0.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.5)(n + -0.5) = 0.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.866025404

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + -0.5) equal to 0.866025404 and -0.866025404.

Subproblem 1

n + -0.5 = 0.866025404 Simplifying n + -0.5 = 0.866025404 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + n = 0.866025404 Solving -0.5 + n = 0.866025404 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + n = 0.866025404 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + n = 0.866025404 + 0.5 n = 0.866025404 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0.866025404 + 0.5 = 1.366025404 n = 1.366025404 Simplifying n = 1.366025404

Subproblem 2

n + -0.5 = -0.866025404 Simplifying n + -0.5 = -0.866025404 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + n = -0.866025404 Solving -0.5 + n = -0.866025404 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + n = -0.866025404 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + n = -0.866025404 + 0.5 n = -0.866025404 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.866025404 + 0.5 = -0.366025404 n = -0.366025404 Simplifying n = -0.366025404
