Solving
-6 + 3u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3u + 6 + u2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 6
3u + u2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3u + u2 = 6

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 = 6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3u + u2 = 6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 6 + 2.25 = 8.25
2.25 + 3u + u2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 1.5)(u + 1.5) = 8.25

(u + 1.5) equal to 2.872281323 and -2.872281323.

Subproblem 1

u + 1.5 = 2.872281323 Simplifying u + 1.5 = 2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + u = 2.872281323 Solving 1.5 + u = 2.872281323 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + u = 2.872281323 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 2.872281323 + -1.5 u = 2.872281323 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 2.872281323 + -1.5 = 1.372281323 u = 1.372281323 Simplifying u = 1.372281323

Subproblem 2

u + 1.5 = -2.872281323 Simplifying u + 1.5 = -2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + u = -2.872281323 Solving 1.5 + u = -2.872281323 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + u = -2.872281323 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -2.872281323 + -1.5 u = -2.872281323 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -2.872281323 + -1.5 = -4.372281323 u = -4.372281323 Simplifying u = -4.372281323

Solution
