Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + 3n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 3n + 1.6 + n2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 3n + n2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 3n + n2 = 0 + 1.6
3n + n2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
3n + n2 = 1.6

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 = 1.6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3n + n2 = 1.6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 2.25 = 3.85
2.25 + 3n + n2 = 3.85
