Solving
-42 + 2w + 5w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-8.4 + 0.4w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.4' to each side of the equation.
-8.4 + 0.4w + 8.4 + w2 = 0 + 8.4

Reorder the terms:
-8.4 + 8.4 + 0.4w + w2 = 0 + 8.4

Combine like terms: -8.4 + 8.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4w + w2 = 0 + 8.4
0.4w + w2 = 0 + 8.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.4 = 8.4
0.4w + w2 = 8.4

The w term is 0.4w.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4w + 0.04 + w2 = 8.4 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4w + w2 = 8.4 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 8.4 + 0.04 = 8.44
0.04 + 0.4w + w2 = 8.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 0.2)(w + 0.2) = 8.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.905167809

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 0.2) equal to 2.905167809 and -2.905167809.

Subproblem 1

w + 0.2 = 2.905167809 Simplifying w + 0.2 = 2.905167809 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + w = 2.905167809 Solving 0.2 + w = 2.905167809 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + w = 2.905167809 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 2.905167809 + -0.2 w = 2.905167809 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 2.905167809 + -0.2 = 2.705167809 w = 2.705167809 Simplifying w = 2.705167809

Subproblem 2

w + 0.2 = -2.905167809 Simplifying w + 0.2 = -2.905167809 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + w = -2.905167809 Solving 0.2 + w = -2.905167809 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -0.2 + w = -2.905167809 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -2.905167809 + -0.2 w = -2.905167809 + -0.2 Combine like terms: -2.905167809 + -0.2 = -3.105167809 w = -3.105167809 Simplifying w = -3.105167809
