w2 + 5w + 2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
2 + 5w + w2 = 0

Solving
2 + 5w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 5w + -2 + w2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 5w + w2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 5w + w2 = 0 + -2
5w + w2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
5w + w2 = -2

The w term is 5w.  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.
5w + 6.25 + w2 = -2 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5w + w2 = -2 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -2 + 6.25 = 4.25
6.25 + 5w + w2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 2.5)(w + 2.5) = 4.25
