Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 3u + 2 + u2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 2
3u + u2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
3u + u2 = 2

The u term is 3u.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3u + 2.25 + u2 = 2 + 2.25
