-14 + -1c + c2 = 0

Solving for variable 'c'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -1c + 14 + c2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -1c + c2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -1c + c2 = 0 + 14
-1c + c2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-1c + c2 = 14

The c term is -1c.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1c + 0.25 + c2 = 14 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1c + c2 = 14 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 14 + 0.25 = 14.25
0.25 + -1c + c2 = 14.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(c + -0.5)(c + -0.5) = 14.25
