Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + 5w + w2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + 5w + w2 = 0

Solving
2 + 5w + w2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 5w + -2 + w2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 5w + w2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 5w + w2 = 0 + -2
5w + w2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
5w + w2 = -2

The w term is 5w.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5w + 6.25 + w2 = -2 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5w + w2 = -2 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -2 + 6.25 = 4.25
6.25 + 5w + w2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2.5)(w + 2.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

(w + 2.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.


Subproblem 1
w + 2.5 = 2.061552813

Simplifying
w + 2.5 = 2.061552813

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + w = 2.061552813

Solving
2.5 + w = 2.061552813

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -2.5 + w = 2.061552813 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + w = 2.061552813 + -2.5
w = 2.061552813 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + -2.5 = -0.438447187
w = -0.438447187

Simplifying
w = -0.438447187


Subproblem 2
w + 2.5 = -2.061552813

Simplifying
w + 2.5 = -2.061552813

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + w = -2.061552813

Solving
2.5 + w = -2.061552813

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -2.5 + w = -2.061552813 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + w = -2.061552813 + -2.5
w = -2.061552813 + -2.5

Combine like terms: -2.061552813 + -2.5 = -4.561552813
w = -4.561552813
