Solving
3 + 7u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + 7u + -3 + u2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + 7u + u2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 7u + u2 = 0 + -3
7u + u2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
7u + u2 = -3

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 = -3 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7u + u2 = -3 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -3 + 12.25 = 9.25
12.25 + 7u + u2 = 9.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 3.5)(u + 3.5) = 9.25
