Solving for variable 'n'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + 7n + -20 + n2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + 7n + n2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 7n + n2 = 0 + -20
7n + n2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
7n + n2 = -20

The n term is 7n.  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.
7n + 12.25 + n2 = -20 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7n + n2 = -20 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -20 + 12.25 = -7.75
12.25 + 7n + n2 = -7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + 3.5)(n + 3.5) = -7.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
