Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.6 + 4.2w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + 4.2w + 3.6 + w2 = 0 + 3.6

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + 3.6 + 4.2w + w2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.2w + w2 = 0 + 3.6
4.2w + w2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.6 = 3.6
4.2w + w2 = 3.6

The w term is 4.2w.  Take half its coefficient (2.1).
Square it (4.41) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.41' to each side of the equation.
4.2w + 4.41 + w2 = 3.6 + 4.41

Reorder the terms:
4.41 + 4.2w + w2 = 3.6 + 4.41

Combine like terms: 3.6 + 4.41 = 8.01
4.41 + 4.2w + w2 = 8.01

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2.1)(w + 2.1) = 8.01

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.83019434

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 2.1) equal to 2.83019434 and -2.83019434.

Subproblem 1

w + 2.1 = 2.83019434 Simplifying w + 2.1 = 2.83019434 Reorder the terms: 2.1 + w = 2.83019434 Solving 2.1 + w = 2.83019434 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.1' to each side of the equation. 2.1 + -2.1 + w = 2.83019434 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.1 + -2.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 2.83019434 + -2.1 w = 2.83019434 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.83019434 + -2.1 = 0.73019434 w = 0.73019434 Simplifying w = 0.73019434

Subproblem 2

w + 2.1 = -2.83019434 Simplifying w + 2.1 = -2.83019434 Reorder the terms: 2.1 + w = -2.83019434 Solving 2.1 + w = -2.83019434 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.1' to each side of the equation. 2.1 + -2.1 + w = -2.83019434 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.1 + -2.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -2.83019434 + -2.1 w = -2.83019434 + -2.1 Combine like terms: -2.83019434 + -2.1 = -4.93019434 w = -4.93019434 Simplifying w = -4.93019434

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. w = {0.73019434, -4.93019434}
