Solution for 2w^2+w-42=0 equation:


Simplifying
2w2 + w + -42 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-42 + w + 2w2 = 0

Solving
-42 + w + 2w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-21 + 0.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '21' to each side of the equation.
-21 + 0.5w + 21 + w2 = 0 + 21

Reorder the terms:
-21 + 21 + 0.5w + w2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
0 + 0.5w + w2 = 0 + 21
0.5w + w2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: 0 + 21 = 21
0.5w + w2 = 21

The w term is w.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5w + 0.25 + w2 = 21 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5w + w2 = 21 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 21 + 0.25 = 21.25
0.25 + 0.5w + w2 = 21.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 0.5)(w + 0.5) = 21.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.609772229

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 0.5) equal to 4.609772229 and -4.609772229.

Subproblem 1

w + 0.5 = 4.609772229 Simplifying w + 0.5 = 4.609772229 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = 4.609772229 Solving 0.5 + w = 4.609772229 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + w = 4.609772229 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 4.609772229 + -0.5 w = 4.609772229 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 4.609772229 + -0.5 = 4.109772229 w = 4.109772229 Simplifying w = 4.109772229

Subproblem 2

w + 0.5 = -4.609772229 Simplifying w + 0.5 = -4.609772229 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + w = -4.609772229 Solving 0.5 + w = -4.609772229 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + w = -4.609772229 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -4.609772229 + -0.5 w = -4.609772229 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -4.609772229 + -0.5 = -5.109772229 w = -5.109772229 Simplifying w = -5.109772229
