Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-8.4 + 8.2u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.4' to each side of the equation.
-8.4 + 8.2u + 8.4 + u2 = 0 + 8.4

Reorder the terms:
-8.4 + 8.4 + 8.2u + u2 = 0 + 8.4

Combine like terms: -8.4 + 8.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 8.2u + u2 = 0 + 8.4
8.2u + u2 = 0 + 8.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.4 = 8.4
8.2u + u2 = 8.4

The u term is 8.2u.  Take half its coefficient (4.1).
Square it (16.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '16.81' to each side of the equation.
8.2u + 16.81 + u2 = 8.4 + 16.81

Reorder the terms:
16.81 + 8.2u + u2 = 8.4 + 16.81

Combine like terms: 8.4 + 16.81 = 25.21
16.81 + 8.2u + u2 = 25.21

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 4.1)(u + 4.1) = 25.21
