Solution for w^2-w=40 equation:


Simplifying
w2 + -1w = 40

Reorder the terms:
-1w + w2 = 40

Solving
-1w + w2 = 40

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
-40 + -1w + w2 = 40 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0
-40 + -1w + w2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '40' to each side of the equation.
-40 + -1w + 40 + w2 = 0 + 40

Reorder the terms:
-40 + 40 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0
0 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 40
-1w + w2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: 0 + 40 = 40
-1w + w2 = 40

The w term is -1w.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1w + 0.25 + w2 = 40 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 40 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 40 + 0.25 = 40.25
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 40.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.5)(w + -0.5) = 40.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.34428877

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + -0.5) equal to 6.34428877 and -6.34428877.

Subproblem 1

w + -0.5 = 6.34428877 Simplifying w + -0.5 = 6.34428877 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + w = 6.34428877 Solving -0.5 + w = 6.34428877 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + w = 6.34428877 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 6.34428877 + 0.5 w = 6.34428877 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 6.34428877 + 0.5 = 6.84428877 w = 6.84428877 Simplifying w = 6.84428877

Subproblem 2

w + -0.5 = -6.34428877 Simplifying w + -0.5 = -6.34428877 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + w = -6.34428877 Solving -0.5 + w = -6.34428877 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + w = -6.34428877 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -6.34428877 + 0.5 w = -6.34428877 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -6.34428877 + 0.5 = -5.84428877 w = -5.84428877 Simplifying w = -5.84428877

Solution
