Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -21u + -4 + u2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -21u + u2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -21u + u2 = 0 + -4
-21u + u2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-21u + u2 = -4

The u term is -21u.  Take half its coefficient (-10.5).
Square it (110.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '110.25' to each side of the equation.
-21u + 110.25 + u2 = -4 + 110.25

Reorder the terms:
110.25 + -21u + u2 = -4 + 110.25

Combine like terms: -4 + 110.25 = 106.25
110.25 + -21u + u2 = 106.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -10.5)(u + -10.5) = 106.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.307764064

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -10.5) equal to 10.307764064 and -10.307764064.

Subproblem 1

u + -10.5 = 10.307764064 Simplifying u + -10.5 = 10.307764064 Reorder the terms: -10.5 + u = 10.307764064 Solving -10.5 + u = 10.307764064 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '10.5' to each side of the equation. -10.5 + 10.5 + u = 10.307764064 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 10.307764064 + 10.5 u = 10.307764064 + 10.5 Combine like terms: 10.307764064 + 10.5 = 20.807764064 u = 20.807764064 Simplifying u = 20.807764064

Subproblem 2

u + -10.5 = -10.307764064 Simplifying u + -10.5 = -10.307764064 Reorder the terms: -10.5 + u = -10.307764064 Solving -10.5 + u = -10.307764064 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '10.5' to each side of the equation. -10.5 + 10.5 + u = -10.307764064 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -10.307764064 + 10.5 u = -10.307764064 + 10.5 Combine like terms: -10.307764064 + 10.5 = 0.192235936 u = 0.192235936 Simplifying u = 0.192235936
