Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4 + -15.5z + z2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -15.5z + 4 + z2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -15.5z + z2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -15.5z + z2 = 0 + 4
-15.5z + z2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-15.5z + z2 = 4

The z term is -15.5z.  Take half its coefficient (-7.75).
Square it (60.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '60.0625' to each side of the equation.
-15.5z + 60.0625 + z2 = 4 + 60.0625

Reorder the terms:
60.0625 + -15.5z + z2 = 4 + 60.0625

Combine like terms: 4 + 60.0625 = 64.0625
60.0625 + -15.5z + z2 = 64.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + -7.75)(z + -7.75) = 64.0625
