Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + 2.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 2.5w + 2.5 + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5
2.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
2.5w + w2 = 2.5

The w term is 2.5w.  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.
2.5w + 1.5625 + w2 = 2.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5w + w2 = 2.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 1.5625 = 4.0625
1.5625 + 2.5w + w2 = 4.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.25)(w + 1.25) = 4.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.015564437

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 1.25) equal to 2.015564437 and -2.015564437.

Subproblem 1

w + 1.25 = 2.015564437 Simplifying w + 1.25 = 2.015564437 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + w = 2.015564437 Solving 1.25 + w = 2.015564437 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + w = 2.015564437 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + w = 2.015564437 + -1.25 w = 2.015564437 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 2.015564437 + -1.25 = 0.765564437 w = 0.765564437 Simplifying w = 0.765564437

Subproblem 2
