Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.125 + -1u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + -1u + 0.125 + u2 = 0 + 0.125

Reorder the terms:
-0.125 + 0.125 + -1u + u2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -1u + u2 = 0 + 0.125
-1u + u2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.125 = 0.125
-1u + u2 = 0.125

The u term is -1u.  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.
-1u + 0.25 + u2 = 0.125 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1u + u2 = 0.125 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.125 + 0.25 = 0.375
0.25 + -1u + u2 = 0.375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -0.5)(u + -0.5) = 0.375

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.612372436

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -0.5) equal to 0.612372436 and -0.612372436.

Subproblem 1

u + -0.5 = 0.612372436 Simplifying u + -0.5 = 0.612372436 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + u = 0.612372436 Solving -0.5 + u = 0.612372436 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + u = 0.612372436 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 0.612372436 + 0.5 u = 0.612372436 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0.612372436 + 0.5 = 1.112372436 u = 1.112372436 Simplifying u = 1.112372436

Subproblem 2

u + -0.5 = -0.612372436 Simplifying u + -0.5 = -0.612372436 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + u = -0.612372436 Solving -0.5 + u = -0.612372436 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + u = -0.612372436 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -0.612372436 + 0.5 u = -0.612372436 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.612372436 + 0.5 = -0.112372436 u = -0.112372436 Simplifying u = -0.112372436

Solution
