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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-24.5 + 0.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '24.5' to each side of the equation.
-24.5 + 0.5u + 24.5 + u2 = 0 + 24.5

Reorder the terms:
-24.5 + 24.5 + 0.5u + u2 = 0 + 24.5

Combine like terms: -24.5 + 24.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5u + u2 = 0 + 24.5
0.5u + u2 = 0 + 24.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 24.5 = 24.5
0.5u + u2 = 24.5

The u term is 0.5u.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5u + 0.0625 + u2 = 24.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5u + u2 = 24.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 24.5 + 0.0625 = 24.5625
0.0625 + 0.5u + u2 = 24.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 0.25)(u + 0.25) = 24.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.9560569

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + 0.25) equal to 4.9560569 and -4.9560569.

Subproblem 1

u + 0.25 = 4.9560569 Simplifying u + 0.25 = 4.9560569 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + u = 4.9560569 Solving 0.25 + u = 4.9560569 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + u = 4.9560569 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + u = 4.9560569 + -0.25 u = 4.9560569 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 4.9560569 + -0.25 = 4.7060569 u = 4.7060569 Simplifying u = 4.7060569

Subproblem 2

u + 0.25 = -4.9560569 Simplifying u + 0.25 = -4.9560569 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + u = -4.9560569 Solving 0.25 + u = -4.9560569 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + u = -4.9560569 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + u = -4.9560569 + -0.25 u = -4.9560569 + -0.25 Combine like terms: -4.9560569 + -0.25 = -5.2060569 u = -5.2060569 Simplifying u = -5.2060569

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. u = {4.7060569, -5.2060569}
