Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + -3z + z2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -3z + 2.5 + z2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -3z + z2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3z + z2 = 0 + 2.5
-3z + z2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-3z + z2 = 2.5

The z term is -3z.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3z + 2.25 + z2 = 2.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3z + z2 = 2.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 2.25 = 4.75
2.25 + -3z + z2 = 4.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + -1.5)(z + -1.5) = 4.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.179449472
