Solving for variable 'f'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -7f + 3 + f2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -7f + f2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -7f + f2 = 0 + 3
-7f + f2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-7f + f2 = 3

The f term is -7f.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7f + 12.25 + f2 = 3 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7f + f2 = 3 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 12.25 = 15.25
12.25 + -7f + f2 = 15.25
