Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -7u + -16 + u2 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + -7u + u2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -7u + u2 = 0 + -16
-7u + u2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-7u + u2 = -16

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 = -16 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7u + u2 = -16 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -16 + 12.25 = -3.75
12.25 + -7u + u2 = -3.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -3.5)(u + -3.5) = -3.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
