Solution for 5w^2-3w-17=0 equation:


Simplifying
5w2 + -3w + -17 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-17 + -3w + 5w2 = 0

Solving
-17 + -3w + 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'.
-3.4 + -0.6w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.4' to each side of the equation.
-3.4 + -0.6w + 3.4 + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Reorder the terms:
-3.4 + 3.4 + -0.6w + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: -3.4 + 3.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.6w + w2 = 0 + 3.4
-0.6w + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.4 = 3.4
-0.6w + w2 = 3.4

The w term is -0.6w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.3).
Square it (0.09) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09' to each side of the equation.
-0.6w + 0.09 + w2 = 3.4 + 0.09

Reorder the terms:
0.09 + -0.6w + w2 = 3.4 + 0.09

Combine like terms: 3.4 + 0.09 = 3.49
0.09 + -0.6w + w2 = 3.49

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.3)(w + -0.3) = 3.49

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.868154169

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -0.3) equal to 1.868154169 and -1.868154169.

Subproblem 1

w + -0.3 = 1.868154169 Simplifying w + -0.3 = 1.868154169 Reorder the terms: -0.3 + w = 1.868154169 Solving -0.3 + w = 1.868154169 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.3' to each side of the equation. -0.3 + 0.3 + w = 1.868154169 + 0.3 Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.3 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.868154169 + 0.3 w = 1.868154169 + 0.3 Combine like terms: 1.868154169 + 0.3 = 2.168154169 w = 2.168154169 Simplifying w = 2.168154169

Subproblem 2

w + -0.3 = -1.868154169 Simplifying w + -0.3 = -1.868154169 Reorder the terms: -0.3 + w = -1.868154169 Solving -0.3 + w = -1.868154169 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.3' to each side of the equation. -0.3 + 0.3 + w = -1.868154169 + 0.3 Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.3 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.868154169 + 0.3 w = -1.868154169 + 0.3 Combine like terms: -1.868154169 + 0.3 = -1.568154169 w = -1.568154169 Simplifying w = -1.568154169
