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

Divide each side by '4'.
-6.25 + 5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-6.25 + 5w + 6.25 + w2 = 0 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
-6.25 + 6.25 + 5w + w2 = 0 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -6.25 + 6.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 5w + w2 = 0 + 6.25
5w + w2 = 0 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.25 = 6.25
5w + w2 = 6.25

The w term is 5w.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5w + 6.25 + w2 = 6.25 + 6.25
