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 + -2.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -2.5w + 3 + w2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -2.5w + w2 = 0 + 3
-2.5w + w2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-2.5w + w2 = 3

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 = 3 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 3 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 3 + 1.5625 = 4.5625
1.5625 + -2.5w + w2 = 4.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.25)(w + -1.25) = 4.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -1.25) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.

Subproblem 1

w + -1.25 = 2.136000936 Simplifying w + -1.25 = 2.136000936 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + w = 2.136000936 Solving -1.25 + w = 2.136000936 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 = 2.136000936 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + w = 2.136000936 + 1.25 w = 2.136000936 + 1.25 Combine like terms: 2.136000936 + 1.25 = 3.386000936 w = 3.386000936 Simplifying w = 3.386000936

Subproblem 2

w + -1.25 = -2.136000936 Simplifying w + -1.25 = -2.136000936 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + w = -2.136000936 Solving -1.25 + w = -2.136000936 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 = -2.136000936 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + w = -2.136000936 + 1.25 w = -2.136000936 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -2.136000936 + 1.25 = -0.886000936 w = -0.886000936 Simplifying w = -0.886000936
