Solution for 20w^2+w=20 equation:


Simplifying
20w2 + w = 20

Reorder the terms:
w + 20w2 = 20

Solving
w + 20w2 = 20

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + w + 20w2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
-20 + w + 20w2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '20'.
-1 + 0.05w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 0.05w + 1 + w2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 0.05w + w2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 0.05w + w2 = 0 + 1
0.05w + w2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
0.05w + w2 = 1

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.
0.05w + 0.25 + w2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.05w + w2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + 0.05w + w2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 0.5)(w + 0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1

w + 0.5 = 1.118033989 Simplifying w + 0.5 = 1.118033989 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = 1.118033989 Solving 0.5 + w = 1.118033989 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 = 1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.118033989 + -0.5 w = 1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + -0.5 = 0.618033989 w = 0.618033989 Simplifying w = 0.618033989

Subproblem 2

w + 0.5 = -1.118033989 Simplifying w + 0.5 = -1.118033989 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = -1.118033989 Solving 0.5 + w = -1.118033989 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 = -1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.118033989 + -0.5 w = -1.118033989 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + -0.5 = -1.618033989 w = -1.618033989 Simplifying w = -1.618033989

Solution
