Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + 4u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + 4u + -1.5 + u2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + 4u + u2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4u + u2 = 0 + -1.5
4u + u2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
4u + u2 = -1.5

The u term is 4u.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4u + 4 + u2 = -1.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4u + u2 = -1.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 4 = 2.5
4 + 4u + u2 = 2.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 2)(u + 2) = 2.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.58113883

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + 2) equal to 1.58113883 and -1.58113883.

Subproblem 1

u + 2 = 1.58113883 Simplifying u + 2 = 1.58113883 Reorder the terms: 2 + u = 1.58113883 Solving 2 + u = 1.58113883 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + u = 1.58113883 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + u = 1.58113883 + -2 u = 1.58113883 + -2 Combine like terms: 1.58113883 + -2 = -0.41886117 u = -0.41886117 Simplifying u = -0.41886117

Subproblem 2

u + 2 = -1.58113883 Simplifying u + 2 = -1.58113883 Reorder the terms: 2 + u = -1.58113883 Solving 2 + u = -1.58113883 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + u = -1.58113883 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + u = -1.58113883 + -2 u = -1.58113883 + -2 Combine like terms: -1.58113883 + -2 = -3.58113883 u = -3.58113883 Simplifying u = -3.58113883
