Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 8v + 6 + v2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 8v + v2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 8v + v2 = 0 + 6
8v + v2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
8v + v2 = 6

The v term is 8v.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8v + 16 + v2 = 6 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8v + v2 = 6 + 16

Combine like terms: 6 + 16 = 22
16 + 8v + v2 = 22

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + 4)(v + 4) = 22

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.69041576

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + 4) equal to 4.69041576 and -4.69041576.

Subproblem 1
v + 4 = 4.69041576

Simplifying
v + 4 = 4.69041576

Reorder the terms:
4 + v = 4.69041576

Solving
4 + v = 4.69041576

Solving for variable 'v'.

Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + v = 4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + v = 4.69041576 + -4
v = 4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4.69041576 + -4 = 0.69041576
v = 0.69041576

Simplifying
v = 0.69041576

Subproblem 2
v + 4 = -4.69041576

Simplifying
v + 4 = -4.69041576

Reorder the terms:
4 + v = -4.69041576

Solving
4 + v = -4.69041576

Solving for variable 'v'.

Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + v = -4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + v = -4.69041576 + -4
v = -4.69041576 + -4

Combine like terms: -4.69041576 + -4 = -8.69041576
v = -8.69041576

Simplifying
v = -8.69041576

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
v = {0.69041576, -8.69041576}
