Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-4.2 + -2v + v2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.2' to each side of the equation.
-4.2 + -2v + 4.2 + v2 = 0 + 4.2

Reorder the terms:
-4.2 + 4.2 + -2v + v2 = 0 + 4.2

Combine like terms: -4.2 + 4.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -2v + v2 = 0 + 4.2
-2v + v2 = 0 + 4.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.2 = 4.2
-2v + v2 = 4.2

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2v + 1 + v2 = 4.2 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2v + v2 = 4.2 + 1

Combine like terms: 4.2 + 1 = 5.2
1 + -2v + v2 = 5.2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -1)(v + -1) = 5.2

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.28035085

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + -1) equal to 2.28035085 and -2.28035085.

Subproblem 1

v + -1 = 2.28035085 Simplifying v + -1 = 2.28035085 Reorder the terms: -1 + v = 2.28035085 Solving -1 + v = 2.28035085 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + v = 2.28035085 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + v = 2.28035085 + 1 v = 2.28035085 + 1 Combine like terms: 2.28035085 + 1 = 3.28035085 v = 3.28035085 Simplifying v = 3.28035085
