Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-3.75 + 2u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.75' to each side of the equation.
-3.75 + 2u + 3.75 + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Reorder the terms:
-3.75 + 3.75 + 2u + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: -3.75 + 3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 2u + u2 = 0 + 3.75
2u + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.75 = 3.75
2u + u2 = 3.75

The u term is 2u.  Take half its coefficient (1).
