5w2 + -1w = 1

Reorder the terms:
-1w + 5w2 = 1

Solving
-1w + 5w2 = 1

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
-1 + -1w + 5w2 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
-1 + -1w + 5w2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + -0.2w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -0.2w + 0.2 + w2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -0.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.2
-0.2w + w2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-0.2w + w2 = 0.2

The w term is -0.2w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2w + 0.01 + w2 = 0.2 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2w + w2 = 0.2 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.01 = 0.21
0.01 + -0.2w + w2 = 0.21

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.1)(w + -0.1) = 0.21

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.458257569

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -0.1) equal to 0.458257569 and -0.458257569.

Subproblem 1

w + -0.1 = 0.458257569 Simplifying w + -0.1 = 0.458257569 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + w = 0.458257569 Solving -0.1 + w = 0.458257569 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + w = 0.458257569 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 0.458257569 + 0.1 w = 0.458257569 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 0.458257569 + 0.1 = 0.558257569 w = 0.558257569 Simplifying w = 0.558257569

Subproblem 2

w + -0.1 = -0.458257569 Simplifying w + -0.1 = -0.458257569 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + w = -0.458257569 Solving -0.1 + w = -0.458257569 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + w = -0.458257569 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -0.458257569 + 0.1 w = -0.458257569 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.458257569 + 0.1 = -0.358257569 w = -0.358257569 Simplifying w = -0.358257569
