Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.875 + -2n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.875' to each side of the equation.
-0.875 + -2n + 0.875 + n2 = 0 + 0.875

Reorder the terms:
-0.875 + 0.875 + -2n + n2 = 0 + 0.875

Combine like terms: -0.875 + 0.875 = 0.000
0.000 + -2n + n2 = 0 + 0.875
-2n + n2 = 0 + 0.875
