Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3.5 + 0.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + 0.5u + 3.5 + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + 0.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5
0.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
0.5u + u2 = 3.5

The u term is u.  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.
0.5u + 0.25 + u2 = 3.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5u + u2 = 3.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 0.25 = 3.75
0.25 + 0.5u + u2 = 3.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 0.5)(u + 0.5) = 3.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.936491673

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + 0.5) equal to 1.936491673 and -1.936491673.

Subproblem 1

u + 0.5 = 1.936491673 Simplifying u + 0.5 = 1.936491673 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + u = 1.936491673 Solving 0.5 + u = 1.936491673 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + u = 1.936491673 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 1.936491673 + -0.5 u = 1.936491673 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.936491673 + -0.5 = 1.436491673 u = 1.436491673 Simplifying u = 1.436491673

Subproblem 2

u + 0.5 = -1.936491673 Simplifying u + 0.5 = -1.936491673 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + u = -1.936491673 Solving 0.5 + u = -1.936491673 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + u = -1.936491673 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -1.936491673 + -0.5 u = -1.936491673 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.936491673 + -0.5 = -2.436491673 u = -2.436491673 Simplifying u = -2.436491673
