Solution for w(w+3)=14 equation:


Simplifying
w(w + 3) = 14

Reorder the terms:
w(3 + w) = 14
(3 * w + w * w) = 14
(3w + w2) = 14

Solving
3w + w2 = 14

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 3w + w2 = 14 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0
-14 + 3w + w2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + 3w + 14 + w2 = 0 + 14

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + 3w + w2 = 0 + 14
3w + w2 = 0 + 14

Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
3w + w2 = 14

The w term is 3w.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3w + 2.25 + w2 = 14 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 14 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 14 + 2.25 = 16.25
2.25 + 3w + w2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.5)(w + 1.5) = 16.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.031128874

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(w + 1.5) equal to 4.031128874 and -4.031128874.

Subproblem 1

w + 1.5 = 4.031128874 Simplifying w + 1.5 = 4.031128874 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + w = 4.031128874 Solving 1.5 + w = 4.031128874 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + w = 4.031128874 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = 4.031128874 + -1.5 w = 4.031128874 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 4.031128874 + -1.5 = 2.531128874 w = 2.531128874 Simplifying w = 2.531128874

Subproblem 2

w + 1.5 = -4.031128874 Simplifying w + 1.5 = -4.031128874 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + w = -4.031128874 Solving 1.5 + w = -4.031128874 Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + w = -4.031128874 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + w = -4.031128874 + -1.5 w = -4.031128874 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -4.031128874 + -1.5 = -5.531128874 w = -5.531128874 Simplifying w = -5.531128874
