Solution for 5w^2-11w-2=0 equation:


Simplifying
5w2 + -11w + -2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -11w + 5w2 = 0

Solving
-2 + -11w + 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'.
-0.4 + -2.2w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + -2.2w + 0.4 + w2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + -2.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.4
-2.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
-2.2w + w2 = 0.4

The w term is -2.2w.  Take half its coefficient (-1.1).
Square it (1.21) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.21' to each side of the equation.
-2.2w + 1.21 + w2 = 0.4 + 1.21

Reorder the terms:
1.21 + -2.2w + w2 = 0.4 + 1.21

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 1.21 = 1.61
1.21 + -2.2w + w2 = 1.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.1)(w + -1.1) = 1.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.268857754

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -1.1) equal to 1.268857754 and -1.268857754.

Subproblem 1

w + -1.1 = 1.268857754 Simplifying w + -1.1 = 1.268857754 Reorder the terms: -1.1 + w = 1.268857754 Solving -1.1 + w = 1.268857754 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.1' to each side of the equation. -1.1 + 1.1 + w = 1.268857754 + 1.1 Combine like terms: -1.1 + 1.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.268857754 + 1.1 w = 1.268857754 + 1.1 Combine like terms: 1.268857754 + 1.1 = 2.368857754 w = 2.368857754 Simplifying w = 2.368857754

Subproblem 2

w + -1.1 = -1.268857754 Simplifying w + -1.1 = -1.268857754 Reorder the terms: -1.1 + w = -1.268857754 Solving -1.1 + w = -1.268857754 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.1' to each side of the equation. -1.1 + 1.1 + w = -1.268857754 + 1.1 Combine like terms: -1.1 + 1.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.268857754 + 1.1 w = -1.268857754 + 1.1 Combine like terms: -1.268857754 + 1.1 = -0.168857754 w = -0.168857754 Simplifying w = -0.168857754

Solution
