Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + 7w + -4 + w2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + 7w + w2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 7w + w2 = 0 + -4
7w + w2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
7w + w2 = -4

The w term is 7w.  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.
7w + 12.25 + w2 = -4 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7w + w2 = -4 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -4 + 12.25 = 8.25
12.25 + 7w + w2 = 8.25
