-0.5 + -2u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -2u + 0.5 + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -2u + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2u + u2 = 0 + 0.5
-2u + u2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-2u + u2 = 0.5

The u term is -2u.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2u + 1 + u2 = 0.5 + 1
