Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + u + 36 + u2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + u + u2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + u + u2 = 0 + 36
u + u2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
u + u2 = 36

The u term is u.  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.
u + 0.25 + u2 = 36 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + u + u2 = 36 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 36 + 0.25 = 36.25
0.25 + u + u2 = 36.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 0.5)(u + 0.5) = 36.25
