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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7.5 + 4.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + 4.5u + 7.5 + u2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + 4.5u + u2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.5u + u2 = 0 + 7.5
4.5u + u2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
4.5u + u2 = 7.5

The u term is 4.5u.  Take half its coefficient (2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
4.5u + 5.0625 + u2 = 7.5 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + 4.5u + u2 = 7.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 5.0625 = 12.5625
5.0625 + 4.5u + u2 = 12.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 2.25)(u + 2.25) = 12.5625
