Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + -7w + 10 + w2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + -7w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -7w + w2 = 0 + 10
-7w + w2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
-7w + w2 = 10

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 = 10 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7w + w2 = 10 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 10 + 12.25 = 22.25
12.25 + -7w + w2 = 22.25
