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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-3.5 + 3.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + 3.5u + 3.5 + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + 3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5
3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
3.5u + u2 = 3.5

The u term is 3.5u.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5u + 3.0625 + u2 = 3.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5u + u2 = 3.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 3.0625 = 6.5625
3.0625 + 3.5u + u2 = 6.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 1.75)(u + 1.75) = 6.5625
