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 + -3.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -3.5u + 3 + u2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3
-3.5u + u2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-3.5u + u2 = 3

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 = 3 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5u + u2 = 3 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 3 + 3.0625 = 6.0625
3.0625 + -3.5u + u2 = 6.0625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -1.75) equal to 2.46221445 and -2.46221445.

Subproblem 1

u + -1.75 = 2.46221445 Simplifying u + -1.75 = 2.46221445 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + u = 2.46221445 Solving -1.75 + u = 2.46221445 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + u = 2.46221445 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + u = 2.46221445 + 1.75 u = 2.46221445 + 1.75 Combine like terms: 2.46221445 + 1.75 = 4.21221445 u = 4.21221445 Simplifying u = 4.21221445

Subproblem 2

u + -1.75 = -2.46221445 Simplifying u + -1.75 = -2.46221445 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + u = -2.46221445 Solving -1.75 + u = -2.46221445 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + u = -2.46221445 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + u = -2.46221445 + 1.75 u = -2.46221445 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -2.46221445 + 1.75 = -0.71221445 u = -0.71221445 Simplifying u = -0.71221445

Solution
