Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-2.5 + -0.25w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -0.25w + 2.5 + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -0.25w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.25w + w2 = 0 + 2.5
-0.25w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-0.25w + w2 = 2.5

The w term is -0.25w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25w + 0.015625 + w2 = 2.5 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + -0.25w + w2 = 2.5 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.015625 = 2.515625
0.015625 + -0.25w + w2 = 2.515625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.125)(w + -0.125) = 2.515625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.586072193
