Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -5w + -8 + w2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -5w + w2 = 0 + -8
-5w + w2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-5w + w2 = -8

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 = -8 + 6.25
