Solving for variable 'd'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -1d + 5 + d2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -1d + d2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1d + d2 = 0 + 5
-1d + d2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-1d + d2 = 5

The d term is -1d.  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.
-1d + 0.25 + d2 = 5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1d + d2 = 5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 5 + 0.25 = 5.25
0.25 + -1d + d2 = 5.25
