Solution for w^2-3w-14=0 equation:


Simplifying
w2 + -3w + -14 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-14 + -3w + w2 = 0

Solving
-14 + -3w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -3w + 14 + w2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -3w + w2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -3w + w2 = 0 + 14
-3w + w2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-3w + w2 = 14

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 = 14 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3w + w2 = 14 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 14 + 2.25 = 16.25
2.25 + -3w + w2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -1.5)(w + -1.5) = 16.25
