Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.
15 + -5w + -15 + w2 = 0 + -15

Reorder the terms:
15 + -15 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0
0 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -15
-5w + w2 = 0 + -15

-5w + w2 = -15

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 = -15 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5w + w2 = -15 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -15 + 6.25 = -8.75
6.25 + -5w + w2 = -8.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -2.5)(w + -2.5) = -8.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
