Reorder the terms:
26 + 7u + u2 = 0

Solving
26 + 7u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-26' to each side of the equation.
26 + 7u + -26 + u2 = 0 + -26

Reorder the terms:
26 + -26 + 7u + u2 = 0 + -26

Combine like terms: 26 + -26 = 0
0 + 7u + u2 = 0 + -26
7u + u2 = 0 + -26

Combine like terms: 0 + -26 = -26
7u + u2 = -26

The u term is 7u.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7u + 12.25 + u2 = -26 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7u + u2 = -26 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -26 + 12.25 = -13.75
12.25 + 7u + u2 = -13.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 3.5)(u + 3.5) = -13.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
