Simplifying
-2 = -1n(n + -8)

Reorder the terms:
-2 = -1n(-8 + n)
-2 = (-8 * -1n + n * -1n)
-2 = (8n + -1n2)

Solving
-2 = 8n + -1n2

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -8n + n2 = 8n + -8n + -1n2 + n2

Combine like terms: 8n + -8n = 0
-2 + -8n + n2 = 0 + -1n2 + n2
-2 + -8n + n2 = -1n2 + n2

Combine like terms: -1n2 + n2 = 0
-2 + -8n + n2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -8n + 2 + n2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -8n + n2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -8n + n2 = 0 + 2
-8n + n2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-8n + n2 = 2

The n term is -8n.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.
