Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3.5 + 4w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + 4w + 3.5 + w2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + 4w + w2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4w + w2 = 0 + 3.5
4w + w2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
4w + w2 = 3.5

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 = 3.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4w + w2 = 3.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 4 = 7.5
4 + 4w + w2 = 7.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2)(w + 2) = 7.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.738612788

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 2) equal to 2.738612788 and -2.738612788.

Subproblem 1

w + 2 = 2.738612788 Simplifying w + 2 = 2.738612788 Reorder the terms: 2 + w = 2.738612788 Solving 2 + w = 2.738612788 Solving for variable 'w'.
