Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.25 + -3.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -3.5k + 0.25 + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -3.5k + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -3.5k + k2 = 0 + 0.25
-3.5k + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-3.5k + k2 = 0.25

The k term is -3.5k.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5k + 3.0625 + k2 = 0.25 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5k + k2 = 0.25 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 3.0625 = 3.3125
3.0625 + -3.5k + k2 = 3.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + -1.75)(k + -1.75) = 3.3125
