Divide each side by '3'.
-0.3333333333 + -7v + v2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.3333333333' to each side of the equation.
-0.3333333333 + -7v + 0.3333333333 + v2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Reorder the terms:
-0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 + -7v + v2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: -0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -7v + v2 = 0 + 0.3333333333
-7v + v2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.3333333333 = 0.3333333333
-7v + v2 = 0.3333333333

The v term is -7v.  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.
-7v + 12.25 + v2 = 0.3333333333 + 12.25
