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 + -2.5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.75' to each side of the equation.
-3.75 + -2.5u + 3.75 + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Reorder the terms:
-3.75 + 3.75 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: -3.75 + 3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.75
-2.5u + u2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.75 = 3.75
-2.5u + u2 = 3.75

The u term is -2.5u.  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.
-2.5u + 1.5625 + u2 = 3.75 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = 3.75 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 3.75 + 1.5625 = 5.3125
1.5625 + -2.5u + u2 = 5.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -1.25)(u + -1.25) = 5.3125

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.304886114
