Solution for 5-7w-2w^2=0 equation:


Simplifying
5 + -7w + -2w2 = 0

Solving
5 + -7w + -2w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2.5 + 3.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 3.5w + 2.5 + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 3.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5
3.5w + w2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
3.5w + w2 = 2.5

The w term is 3.5w.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5w + 3.0625 + w2 = 2.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5w + w2 = 2.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 3.0625 = 5.5625
3.0625 + 3.5w + w2 = 5.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.75)(w + 1.75) = 5.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.358495283

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 1.75) equal to 2.358495283 and -2.358495283.

Subproblem 1

w + 1.75 = 2.358495283 Simplifying w + 1.75 = 2.358495283 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + w = 2.358495283 Solving 1.75 + w = 2.358495283 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + w = 2.358495283 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + w = 2.358495283 + -1.75 w = 2.358495283 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 2.358495283 + -1.75 = 0.608495283 w = 0.608495283 Simplifying w = 0.608495283

Subproblem 2

w + 1.75 = -2.358495283 Simplifying w + 1.75 = -2.358495283 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + w = -2.358495283 Solving 1.75 + w = -2.358495283 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + w = -2.358495283 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + w = -2.358495283 + -1.75 w = -2.358495283 + -1.75 Combine like terms: -2.358495283 + -1.75 = -4.108495283 w = -4.108495283 Simplifying w = -4.108495283

Solution
