-20 + 5v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 5v + 20 + v2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + 5v + v2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 5v + v2 = 0 + 20
5v + v2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
5v + v2 = 20

The v term is 5v.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5v + 6.25 + v2 = 20 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5v + v2 = 20 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 20 + 6.25 = 26.25
6.25 + 5v + v2 = 26.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + 2.5)(v + 2.5) = 26.25
