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
