27w%5E2+%2B+24w%2B1=0
Use the quadratic formula,
w+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
w+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+24%5E2-4%2A27%2A1+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
w+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+576-108%29%29%2F2+
w+=+%28-24+%2B-+sqrt%28+468%29%29%2F2+
w+=+%28-24+%2B-+2sqrt%28+117%29%29%2F2+
w+=+-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+117%29
