17 + w + -4w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-4.25 + -0.25w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.25' to each side of the equation.
-4.25 + -0.25w + 4.25 + w2 = 0 + 4.25

Reorder the terms:
-4.25 + 4.25 + -0.25w + w2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: -4.25 + 4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.25w + w2 = 0 + 4.25
-0.25w + w2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.25 = 4.25
-0.25w + w2 = 4.25

The w term is w.  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.
-0.25w + 0.25 + w2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25w + w2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
0.25 + -0.25w + w2 = 4.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 0.5)(w + 0.5) = 4.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.121320344

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 0.5) equal to 2.121320344 and -2.121320344.

Subproblem 1

w + 0.5 = 2.121320344 Simplifying w + 0.5 = 2.121320344 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = 2.121320344 Solving 0.5 + w = 2.121320344 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + w = 2.121320344 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 2.121320344 + -0.5 w = 2.121320344 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 2.121320344 + -0.5 = 1.621320344 w = 1.621320344 Simplifying w = 1.621320344

Subproblem 2

w + 0.5 = -2.121320344 Simplifying w + 0.5 = -2.121320344 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = -2.121320344 Solving 0.5 + w = -2.121320344 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + w = -2.121320344 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -2.121320344 + -0.5 w = -2.121320344 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -2.121320344 + -0.5 = -2.621320344 w = -2.621320344 Simplifying w = -2.621320344

Solution
