Solving for variable 'n'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '120' to each side of the equation.
-120 + -1n + 120 + n2 = 0 + 120

Reorder the terms:
-120 + 120 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: -120 + 120 = 0
0 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 120
-1n + n2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: 0 + 120 = 120
-1n + n2 = 120

The n term is -1n.  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.
-1n + 0.25 + n2 = 120 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 120 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 120 + 0.25 = 120.25
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 120.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.5)(n + -0.5) = 120.25
