Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + 3v + 42 + v2 = 0 + 42

Reorder the terms:
-42 + 42 + 3v + v2 = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + 3v + v2 = 0 + 42
3v + v2 = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: 0 + 42 = 42
3v + v2 = 42

The v term is 3v.  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.
3v + 2.25 + v2 = 42 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3v + v2 = 42 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 42 + 2.25 = 44.25
2.25 + 3v + v2 = 44.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + 1.5)(v + 1.5) = 44.25
