Divide each side by '3'.
1.666666667 + -3u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.666666667' to each side of the equation.
1.666666667 + -3u + -1.666666667 + u2 = 0 + -1.666666667

Reorder the terms:
1.666666667 + -1.666666667 + -3u + u2 = 0 + -1.666666667

Combine like terms: 1.666666667 + -1.666666667 = 0.000000000
0.000000000 + -3u + u2 = 0 + -1.666666667
-3u + u2 = 0 + -1.666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.666666667 = -1.666666667
-3u + u2 = -1.666666667

The u term is -3u.  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.
-3u + 2.25 + u2 = -1.666666667 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3u + u2 = -1.666666667 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -1.666666667 + 2.25 = 0.583333333
2.25 + -3u + u2 = 0.583333333
