Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7.5 + 4w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + 4w + 7.5 + w2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + 4w + w2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4w + w2 = 0 + 7.5
4w + w2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
4w + w2 = 7.5

The w term is 4w.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4w + 4 + w2 = 7.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4w + w2 = 7.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 4 = 11.5
4 + 4w + w2 = 11.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2)(w + 2) = 11.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.391164992
