Solving
3 + -5w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -5w + -3 + w2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -3
-5w + w2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-5w + w2 = -3

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 = -3 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5w + w2 = -3 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -3 + 6.25 = 3.25
6.25 + -5w + w2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -2.5)(w + -2.5) = 3.25
