-3 + -7w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -7w + 3 + w2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -7w + w2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -7w + w2 = 0 + 3
-7w + w2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-7w + w2 = 3

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 = 3 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -7w + w2 = 3 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 12.25 = 15.25
12.25 + -7w + w2 = 15.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -3.5)(w + -3.5) = 15.25
