Solution for w^2+3w-16=0 equation:


Simplifying
w2 + 3w + -16 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 3w + w2 = 0

Solving
-16 + 3w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 3w + 16 + w2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 16
3w + w2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
3w + w2 = 16

The w term is 3w.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3w + 2.25 + w2 = 16 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 16 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 16 + 2.25 = 18.25
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 18.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.5)(w + 1.5) = 18.25
