Solving
42 + 8n + 5n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
8.4 + 1.6n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8.4' to each side of the equation.
8.4 + 1.6n + -8.4 + n2 = 0 + -8.4

Reorder the terms:
8.4 + -8.4 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + -8.4

Combine like terms: 8.4 + -8.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + -8.4
1.6n + n2 = 0 + -8.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -8.4 = -8.4
1.6n + n2 = -8.4

The n term is 1.6n.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6n + 0.64 + n2 = -8.4 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = -8.4 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -8.4 + 0.64 = -7.76
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = -7.76

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + 0.8)(n + 0.8) = -7.76

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
