Solving for variable 'c'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + -1c + 36 + c2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + -1c + c2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + -1c + c2 = 0 + 36
-1c + c2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
-1c + c2 = 36

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 = 36 + 0.25
