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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 3n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 3n + -0.5 + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 3n + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3n + n2 = 0 + -0.5
3n + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
3n + n2 = -0.5

The n term is 3n.  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.
3n + 2.25 + n2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3n + n2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 2.25 = 1.75
2.25 + 3n + n2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + 1.5)(n + 1.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + 1.5) equal to 1.322875656 and -1.322875656.

Subproblem 1
n + 1.5 = 1.322875656

Simplifying
n + 1.5 = 1.322875656

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + n = 1.322875656

Solving
1.5 + n = 1.322875656

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -1.5 + n = 1.322875656 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + n = 1.322875656 + -1.5
n = 1.322875656 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.322875656 + -1.5 = -0.177124344
n = -0.177124344

Simplifying
n = -0.177124344

Subproblem 2
n + 1.5 = -1.322875656

Simplifying
n + 1.5 = -1.322875656

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + n = -1.322875656

Solving
1.5 + n = -1.322875656

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -1.5 + n = -1.322875656 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + n = -1.322875656 + -1.5
n = -1.322875656 + -1.5

Combine like terms: -1.322875656 + -1.5 = -2.822875656
n = -2.822875656

Simplifying
n = -2.822875656
