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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-10.5 + -1.5n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + -1.5n + 10.5 + n2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + -1.5n + n2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.5n + n2 = 0 + 10.5
-1.5n + n2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.5 = 10.5
-1.5n + n2 = 10.5

The n term is -1.5n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.
