Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
1.875 + 1.75u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.875' to each side of the equation.
1.875 + 1.75u + -1.875 + u2 = 0 + -1.875

Reorder the terms:
1.875 + -1.875 + 1.75u + u2 = 0 + -1.875

Combine like terms: 1.875 + -1.875 = 0.000
0.000 + 1.75u + u2 = 0 + -1.875
1.75u + u2 = 0 + -1.875

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.875 = -1.875
1.75u + u2 = -1.875

The u term is 1.75u.  Take half its coefficient (0.875).
Square it (0.765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.765625' to each side of the equation.
1.75u + 0.765625 + u2 = -1.875 + 0.765625

Reorder the terms:
0.765625 + 1.75u + u2 = -1.875 + 0.765625

Combine like terms: -1.875 + 0.765625 = -1.109375
0.765625 + 1.75u + u2 = -1.109375
