Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-10.5 + 7u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + 7u + 10.5 + u2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + 7u + u2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 7u + u2 = 0 + 10.5
7u + u2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.5 = 10.5
7u + u2 = 10.5

The u term is 7u.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7u + 12.25 + u2 = 10.5 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7u + u2 = 10.5 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 12.25 = 22.75
12.25 + 7u + u2 = 22.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 3.5)(u + 3.5) = 22.75
