-17 + -3z + 2z2 = 17 + -17

Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
-17 + -3z + 2z2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-8.5 + -1.5z + z2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.5' to each side of the equation.
-8.5 + -1.5z + 8.5 + z2 = 0 + 8.5

Reorder the terms:
-8.5 + 8.5 + -1.5z + z2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: -8.5 + 8.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.5z + z2 = 0 + 8.5
-1.5z + z2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.5 = 8.5
-1.5z + z2 = 8.5

The z term is -1.5z.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5z + 0.5625 + z2 = 8.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5z + z2 = 8.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 8.5 + 0.5625 = 9.0625
0.5625 + -1.5z + z2 = 9.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + -0.75)(z + -0.75) = 9.0625
