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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3.5 + -3c + c2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + -3c + 3.5 + c2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + -3c + c2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3c + c2 = 0 + 3.5
-3c + c2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
-3c + c2 = 3.5

The c term is -3c.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3c + 2.25 + c2 = 3.5 + 2.25
