Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-43.5 + -3w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '43.5' to each side of the equation.
-43.5 + -3w + 43.5 + w2 = 0 + 43.5

Reorder the terms:
-43.5 + 43.5 + -3w + w2 = 0 + 43.5

Combine like terms: -43.5 + 43.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3w + w2 = 0 + 43.5
-3w + w2 = 0 + 43.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 43.5 = 43.5
-3w + w2 = 43.5

The w term is -3w.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3w + 2.25 + w2 = 43.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3w + w2 = 43.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 43.5 + 2.25 = 45.75
2.25 + -3w + w2 = 45.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.5)(w + -1.5) = 45.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.763874629
