Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -19u + -20 + u2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + -19u + u2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -19u + u2 = 0 + -20
-19u + u2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
-19u + u2 = -20

The u term is -19u.  Take half its coefficient (-9.5).
Square it (90.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '90.25' to each side of the equation.
-19u + 90.25 + u2 = -20 + 90.25

Reorder the terms:
90.25 + -19u + u2 = -20 + 90.25

Combine like terms: -20 + 90.25 = 70.25
90.25 + -19u + u2 = 70.25
