Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + -1.8w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -1.8w + 0.8 + w2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -1.8w + w2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.8w + w2 = 0 + 0.8
-1.8w + w2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-1.8w + w2 = 0.8

The w term is -1.8w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.9).
Square it (0.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.81' to each side of the equation.
-1.8w + 0.81 + w2 = 0.8 + 0.81

Reorder the terms:
0.81 + -1.8w + w2 = 0.8 + 0.81

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.81 = 1.61
0.81 + -1.8w + w2 = 1.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.9)(w + -0.9) = 1.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.268857754

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -0.9) equal to 1.268857754 and -1.268857754.

Subproblem 1

w + -0.9 = 1.268857754 Simplifying w + -0.9 = 1.268857754 Reorder the terms: -0.9 + w = 1.268857754 Solving -0.9 + w = 1.268857754 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.9' to each side of the equation. -0.9 + 0.9 + w = 1.268857754 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 1.268857754 + 0.9 w = 1.268857754 + 0.9 Combine like terms: 1.268857754 + 0.9 = 2.168857754 w = 2.168857754 Simplifying w = 2.168857754

Subproblem 2

w + -0.9 = -1.268857754 Simplifying w + -0.9 = -1.268857754 Reorder the terms: -0.9 + w = -1.268857754 Solving -0.9 + w = -1.268857754 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.9' to each side of the equation. -0.9 + 0.9 + w = -1.268857754 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -1.268857754 + 0.9 w = -1.268857754 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -1.268857754 + 0.9 = -0.368857754 w = -0.368857754 Simplifying w = -0.368857754

Solution
