Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + -16v + 20 + v2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + -16v + v2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + -16v + v2 = 0 + 20
-16v + v2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
-16v + v2 = 20

The v term is -16v.  Take half its coefficient (-8).
Square it (64) and add it to both sides.

Add '64' to each side of the equation.
-16v + 64 + v2 = 20 + 64

Reorder the terms:
64 + -16v + v2 = 20 + 64

Combine like terms: 20 + 64 = 84
64 + -16v + v2 = 84

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -8)(v + -8) = 84

Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.16515139

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + -8) equal to 9.16515139 and -9.16515139.

Subproblem 1

v + -8 = 9.16515139 Simplifying v + -8 = 9.16515139 Reorder the terms: -8 + v = 9.16515139 Solving -8 + v = 9.16515139 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '8' to each side of the equation. -8 + 8 + v = 9.16515139 + 8 Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0 0 + v = 9.16515139 + 8 v = 9.16515139 + 8 Combine like terms: 9.16515139 + 8 = 17.16515139 v = 17.16515139 Simplifying v = 17.16515139
