Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2 + 0.8u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 0.8u + 2 + u2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 0.8u + u2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 0.8u + u2 = 0 + 2
0.8u + u2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
0.8u + u2 = 2

The u term is 0.8u.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8u + 0.16 + u2 = 2 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8u + u2 = 2 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.16 = 2.16
0.16 + 0.8u + u2 = 2.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 0.4)(u + 0.4) = 2.16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.469693846
