Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -7u + -5 + u2 = 0 + -5

Reorder the terms:
5 + -5 + -7u + u2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -7u + u2 = 0 + -5
-7u + u2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-7u + u2 = -5

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 = -5 + 12.25
