Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + 20w + -50 + w2 = 0 + -50

Reorder the terms:
50 + -50 + 20w + w2 = 0 + -50

Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + 20w + w2 = 0 + -50
20w + w2 = 0 + -50

Combine like terms: 0 + -50 = -50
20w + w2 = -50

The w term is 20w.  Take half its coefficient (10).
Square it (100) and add it to both sides.
