Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '40' to each side of the equation.
-40 + 2w + 40 + w2 = 0 + 40

Reorder the terms:
-40 + 40 + 2w + w2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0
0 + 2w + w2 = 0 + 40
2w + w2 = 0 + 40

Combine like terms: 0 + 40 = 40
2w + w2 = 40

The w term is 2w.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2w + 1 + w2 = 40 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2w + w2 = 40 + 1

Combine like terms: 40 + 1 = 41
1 + 2w + w2 = 41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1)(w + 1) = 41
