Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -5u + 5 + u2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -5u + u2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -5u + u2 = 0 + 5
-5u + u2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-5u + u2 = 5

The u term is -5u.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5u + 6.25 + u2 = 5 + 6.25
