Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-69 + 4.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '69' to each side of the equation.
-69 + 4.5w + 69 + w2 = 0 + 69

Reorder the terms:
-69 + 69 + 4.5w + w2 = 0 + 69

Combine like terms: -69 + 69 = 0
0 + 4.5w + w2 = 0 + 69
4.5w + w2 = 0 + 69

Combine like terms: 0 + 69 = 69
4.5w + w2 = 69

The w term is 4.5w.  Take half its coefficient (2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
4.5w + 5.0625 + w2 = 69 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + 4.5w + w2 = 69 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 69 + 5.0625 = 74.0625
5.0625 + 4.5w + w2 = 74.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2.25)(w + 2.25) = 74.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 8.605957239
