Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
8 + -2.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -2.5u + -8 + u2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + -8
-2.5u + u2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-2.5u + u2 = -8

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 = -8 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = -8 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -8 + 1.5625 = -6.4375
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = -6.4375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -1.25)(u + -1.25) = -6.4375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
