Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -4n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -4n + 1.5 + n2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -4n + n2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4n + n2 = 0 + 1.5
-4n + n2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-4n + n2 = 1.5

The n term is -4n.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4n + 4 + n2 = 1.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4n + n2 = 1.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 4 = 5.5
4 + -4n + n2 = 5.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -2)(n + -2) = 5.5
