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

Divide each side by '5'.
-180 + -3.4n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '180' to each side of the equation.
-180 + -3.4n + 180 + n2 = 0 + 180

Reorder the terms:
-180 + 180 + -3.4n + n2 = 0 + 180

Combine like terms: -180 + 180 = 0
0 + -3.4n + n2 = 0 + 180
-3.4n + n2 = 0 + 180

Combine like terms: 0 + 180 = 180
-3.4n + n2 = 180

The n term is -3.4n.  Take half its coefficient (-1.7).
Square it (2.89) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.89' to each side of the equation.
-3.4n + 2.89 + n2 = 180 + 2.89

Reorder the terms:
2.89 + -3.4n + n2 = 180 + 2.89

Combine like terms: 180 + 2.89 = 182.89
2.89 + -3.4n + n2 = 182.89
