Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-14 + 3.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + 3.5u + 14 + u2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + 3.5u + u2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + 3.5u + u2 = 0 + 14
3.5u + u2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
3.5u + u2 = 14

The u term is 3.5u.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5u + 3.0625 + u2 = 14 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5u + u2 = 14 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 14 + 3.0625 = 17.0625
3.0625 + 3.5u + u2 = 17.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 1.75)(u + 1.75) = 17.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.13067791

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + 1.75) equal to 4.13067791 and -4.13067791.

Subproblem 1

u + 1.75 = 4.13067791 Simplifying u + 1.75 = 4.13067791 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + u = 4.13067791 Solving 1.75 + u = 4.13067791 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + u = 4.13067791 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + u = 4.13067791 + -1.75 u = 4.13067791 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 4.13067791 + -1.75 = 2.38067791 u = 2.38067791 Simplifying u = 2.38067791

Subproblem 2

u + 1.75 = -4.13067791 Simplifying u + 1.75 = -4.13067791 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + u = -4.13067791 Solving 1.75 + u = -4.13067791 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + u = -4.13067791 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + u = -4.13067791 + -1.75 u = -4.13067791 + -1.75 Combine like terms: -4.13067791 + -1.75 = -5.88067791 u = -5.88067791 Simplifying u = -5.88067791

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. u = {2.38067791, -5.88067791}
