Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + -5w + 10 + w2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + -5w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -5w + w2 = 0 + 10
-5w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
-5w + w2 = 10

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 = 10 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5w + w2 = 10 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 10 + 6.25 = 16.25
6.25 + -5w + w2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -2.5)(w + -2.5) = 16.25
