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 + -0.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -0.5n + 2.5 + n2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.5
-0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-0.5n + n2 = 2.5

The n term is -0.5n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5n + 0.0625 + n2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5n + n2 = 2.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.0625 = 2.5625
0.0625 + -0.5n + n2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.25)(n + -0.25) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + -0.25) equal to 1.600781059 and -1.600781059.

Subproblem 1

n + -0.25 = 1.600781059 Simplifying n + -0.25 = 1.600781059 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + n = 1.600781059 Solving -0.25 + n = 1.600781059 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + n = 1.600781059 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + n = 1.600781059 + 0.25 n = 1.600781059 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 1.600781059 + 0.25 = 1.850781059 n = 1.850781059 Simplifying n = 1.850781059

Subproblem 2

n + -0.25 = -1.600781059 Simplifying n + -0.25 = -1.600781059 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + n = -1.600781059 Solving -0.25 + n = -1.600781059 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + n = -1.600781059 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + n = -1.600781059 + 0.25 n = -1.600781059 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -1.600781059 + 0.25 = -1.350781059 n = -1.350781059 Simplifying n = -1.350781059
