Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-77 + -2.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '77' to each side of the equation.
-77 + -2.5w + 77 + w2 = 0 + 77

Reorder the terms:
-77 + 77 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 77

Combine like terms: -77 + 77 = 0
0 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 77
-2.5w + w2 = 0 + 77

Combine like terms: 0 + 77 = 77
-2.5w + w2 = 77

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 = 77 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 77 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 77 + 1.5625 = 78.5625
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 78.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.25)(w + -1.25) = 78.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 8.863548951

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -1.25) equal to 8.863548951 and -8.863548951.

Subproblem 1

w + -1.25 = 8.863548951 Simplifying w + -1.25 = 8.863548951 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + w = 8.863548951 Solving -1.25 + w = 8.863548951 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + w = 8.863548951 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + w = 8.863548951 + 1.25 w = 8.863548951 + 1.25 Combine like terms: 8.863548951 + 1.25 = 10.113548951 w = 10.113548951 Simplifying w = 10.113548951

Subproblem 2

w + -1.25 = -8.863548951 Simplifying w + -1.25 = -8.863548951 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + w = -8.863548951 Solving -1.25 + w = -8.863548951 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + w = -8.863548951 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + w = -8.863548951 + 1.25 w = -8.863548951 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -8.863548951 + 1.25 = -7.613548951 w = -7.613548951 Simplifying w = -7.613548951
