Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-57.5 + -2.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '57.5' to each side of the equation.
-57.5 + -2.5w + 57.5 + w2 = 0 + 57.5

Reorder the terms:
-57.5 + 57.5 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 57.5

Combine like terms: -57.5 + 57.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 57.5
-2.5w + w2 = 0 + 57.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 57.5 = 57.5
-2.5w + w2 = 57.5

The w term is -2.5w.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5w + 1.5625 + w2 = 57.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 57.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 57.5 + 1.5625 = 59.0625
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 59.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.25)(w + -1.25) = 59.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 7.685213074

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -1.25) equal to 7.685213074 and -7.685213074.
