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 + -1w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.4' to each side of the equation.
-3.4 + -1w + 3.4 + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Reorder the terms:
-3.4 + 3.4 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: -3.4 + 3.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 3.4
-1w + w2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.4 = 3.4
-1w + w2 = 3.4

The w term is -1w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1w + 0.25 + w2 = 3.4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 3.4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3.4 + 0.25 = 3.65
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 3.65

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.5)(w + -0.5) = 3.65

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.910497317

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -0.5) equal to 1.910497317 and -1.910497317.

Subproblem 1

w + -0.5 = 1.910497317 Simplifying w + -0.5 = 1.910497317 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + w = 1.910497317 Solving -0.5 + w = 1.910497317 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + w = 1.910497317 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.910497317 + 0.5 w = 1.910497317 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.910497317 + 0.5 = 2.410497317 w = 2.410497317 Simplifying w = 2.410497317

Subproblem 2

w + -0.5 = -1.910497317 Simplifying w + -0.5 = -1.910497317 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + w = -1.910497317 Solving -0.5 + w = -1.910497317 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + w = -1.910497317 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.910497317 + 0.5 w = -1.910497317 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.910497317 + 0.5 = -1.410497317 w = -1.410497317 Simplifying w = -1.410497317
