Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-20 + -1.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + -1.5n + 20 + n2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + -1.5n + n2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + -1.5n + n2 = 0 + 20
-1.5n + n2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
-1.5n + n2 = 20

The n term is -1.5n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5n + 0.5625 + n2 = 20 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5n + n2 = 20 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 20 + 0.5625 = 20.5625
0.5625 + -1.5n + n2 = 20.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.75)(n + -0.75) = 20.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.534589287
