Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -9u + -12 + u2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + -9u + u2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -9u + u2 = 0 + -12
-9u + u2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-9u + u2 = -12

The u term is -9u.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9u + 20.25 + u2 = -12 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + -9u + u2 = -12 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 20.25 = 8.25
20.25 + -9u + u2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -4.5)(u + -4.5) = 8.25

(u + -4.5) equal to 2.872281323 and -2.872281323.

Subproblem 1

u + -4.5 = 2.872281323 Simplifying u + -4.5 = 2.872281323 Reorder the terms: -4.5 + u = 2.872281323 Solving -4.5 + u = 2.872281323 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4.5' to each side of the equation. -4.5 + 4.5 + u = 2.872281323 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 2.872281323 + 4.5 u = 2.872281323 + 4.5 Combine like terms: 2.872281323 + 4.5 = 7.372281323 u = 7.372281323 Simplifying u = 7.372281323

Subproblem 2

u + -4.5 = -2.872281323 Simplifying u + -4.5 = -2.872281323 Reorder the terms: -4.5 + u = -2.872281323 Solving -4.5 + u = -2.872281323 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4.5' to each side of the equation. -4.5 + 4.5 + u = -2.872281323 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -2.872281323 + 4.5 u = -2.872281323 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -2.872281323 + 4.5 = 1.627718677 u = 1.627718677 Simplifying u = 1.627718677
