Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5.5 + -3.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.5' to each side of the equation.
-5.5 + -3.5u + 5.5 + u2 = 0 + 5.5

Reorder the terms:
-5.5 + 5.5 + -3.5u + u2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5u + u2 = 0 + 5.5
-3.5u + u2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.5 = 5.5
-3.5u + u2 = 5.5

The u term is -3.5u.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5u + 3.0625 + u2 = 5.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5u + u2 = 5.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 5.5 + 3.0625 = 8.5625
3.0625 + -3.5u + u2 = 8.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -1.75)(u + -1.75) = 8.5625
