Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + -20w + 36 + w2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + -20w + w2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + -20w + w2 = 0 + 36
-20w + w2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
-20w + w2 = 36

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

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
-20w + 100 + w2 = 36 + 100

Reorder the terms:
100 + -20w + w2 = 36 + 100

Combine like terms: 36 + 100 = 136
100 + -20w + w2 = 136

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -10)(w + -10) = 136
