Solving for variable 'b'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
1.25 + -5b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -5b + -1.25 + b2 = 0 + -1.25

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + -1.25 + -5b + b2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -5b + b2 = 0 + -1.25
-5b + b2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.25 = -1.25
-5b + b2 = -1.25

The b term is -5b.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5b + 6.25 + b2 = -1.25 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5b + b2 = -1.25 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 6.25 = 5
6.25 + -5b + b2 = 5
