Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-128 + 16u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '128' to each side of the equation.
-128 + 16u + 128 + u2 = 0 + 128

Reorder the terms:
-128 + 128 + 16u + u2 = 0 + 128

Combine like terms: -128 + 128 = 0
0 + 16u + u2 = 0 + 128
16u + u2 = 0 + 128

Combine like terms: 0 + 128 = 128
16u + u2 = 128

The u term is 16u.  Take half its coefficient (8).
Square it (64) and add it to both sides.

Add '64' to each side of the equation.
16u + 64 + u2 = 128 + 64

Reorder the terms:
64 + 16u + u2 = 128 + 64

Combine like terms: 128 + 64 = 192
64 + 16u + u2 = 192

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 8)(u + 8) = 192
