Solving for variable 'u'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 4 + -4u + -1u + 2u2 = -4 + u + 4 + -1u

Combine like terms: -5 + 4 = -1
-1 + -4u + -1u + 2u2 = -4 + u + 4 + -1u

Combine like terms: -4u + -1u = -5u
-1 + -5u + 2u2 = -4 + u + 4 + -1u

Reorder the terms:
-1 + -5u + 2u2 = -4 + 4 + u + -1u

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
-1 + -5u + 2u2 = 0 + u + -1u
-1 + -5u + 2u2 = u + -1u

Combine like terms: u + -1u = 0
-1 + -5u + 2u2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + -2.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -2.5u + 0.5 + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + 0.5
-2.5u + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-2.5u + u2 = 0.5

The u term is -2.5u.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5u + 1.5625 + u2 = 0.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = 0.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1.5625 = 2.0625
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = 2.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -1.25)(u + -1.25) = 2.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.436140662

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -1.25) equal to 1.436140662 and -1.436140662.

Subproblem 1

u + -1.25 = 1.436140662 Simplifying u + -1.25 = 1.436140662 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + u = 1.436140662 Solving -1.25 + u = 1.436140662 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + u = 1.436140662 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + u = 1.436140662 + 1.25 u = 1.436140662 + 1.25 Combine like terms: 1.436140662 + 1.25 = 2.686140662 u = 2.686140662 Simplifying u = 2.686140662

Subproblem 2

u + -1.25 = -1.436140662 Simplifying u + -1.25 = -1.436140662 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + u = -1.436140662 Solving -1.25 + u = -1.436140662 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + u = -1.436140662 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + u = -1.436140662 + 1.25 u = -1.436140662 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.436140662 + 1.25 = -0.186140662 u = -0.186140662 Simplifying u = -0.186140662
