Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + -6w + 13 + w2 = 0 + 13

Reorder the terms:
-13 + 13 + -6w + w2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0
0 + -6w + w2 = 0 + 13
-6w + w2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: 0 + 13 = 13
-6w + w2 = 13

The w term is -6w.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
