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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5.5 + 0.5c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.5' to each side of the equation.
-5.5 + 0.5c + 5.5 + c2 = 0 + 5.5

Reorder the terms:
-5.5 + 5.5 + 0.5c + c2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5c + c2 = 0 + 5.5
0.5c + c2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.5 = 5.5
0.5c + c2 = 5.5

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5c + 0.25 + c2 = 5.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5c + c2 = 5.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 5.5 + 0.25 = 5.75
0.25 + 0.5c + c2 = 5.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(c + 0.5)(c + 0.5) = 5.75
