Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 3w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 3w + 0.5 + w2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 0.5
3w + w2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
3w + w2 = 0.5

The w term is 3w.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3w + 2.25 + w2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 2.25 = 2.75
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.5)(w + 1.5) = 2.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 1.5) equal to 1.658312395 and -1.658312395.

Subproblem 1

w + 1.5 = 1.658312395 Simplifying w + 1.5 = 1.658312395 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + w = 1.658312395 Solving 1.5 + w = 1.658312395 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + w = 1.658312395 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.658312395 + -1.5 w = 1.658312395 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.658312395 + -1.5 = 0.158312395 w = 0.158312395 Simplifying w = 0.158312395

Subproblem 2

w + 1.5 = -1.658312395 Simplifying w + 1.5 = -1.658312395 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + w = -1.658312395 Solving 1.5 + w = -1.658312395 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + w = -1.658312395 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.658312395 + -1.5 w = -1.658312395 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -1.658312395 + -1.5 = -3.158312395 w = -3.158312395 Simplifying w = -3.158312395

Solution
