Solving for variable 'n'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '80' to each side of the equation.
-80 + -1n + 80 + n2 = 0 + 80

Reorder the terms:
-80 + 80 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 80

Combine like terms: -80 + 80 = 0
0 + -1n + n2 = 0 + 80
-1n + n2 = 0 + 80

Combine like terms: 0 + 80 = 80
-1n + n2 = 80

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 = 80 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 80 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 80 + 0.25 = 80.25
0.25 + -1n + n2 = 80.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.5)(n + -0.5) = 80.25
