Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-17' to each side of the equation.
17 + -7w + -17 + w2 = 0 + -17

Reorder the terms:
17 + -17 + -7w + w2 = 0 + -17

Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
0 + -7w + w2 = 0 + -17
-7w + w2 = 0 + -17

Combine like terms: 0 + -17 = -17
-7w + w2 = -17

The w term is -7w.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7w + 12.25 + w2 = -17 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7w + w2 = -17 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -17 + 12.25 = -4.75
12.25 + -7w + w2 = -4.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -3.5)(w + -3.5) = -4.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
