Solution for w^2+w-10=0 equation:


Simplifying
w2 + w + -10 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-10 + w + w2 = 0

Solving
-10 + w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + w + 10 + w2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + w + w2 = 0 + 10
w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
w + w2 = 10

The w term is w.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
w + 0.25 + w2 = 10 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + w + w2 = 10 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 10 + 0.25 = 10.25
0.25 + w + w2 = 10.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 0.5)(w + 0.5) = 10.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.201562119
