Solving for variable 'f'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -7f + 4 + f2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -7f + f2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -7f + f2 = 0 + 4
-7f + f2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-7f + f2 = 4

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