Solving
-8 + -3v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -3v + 8 + v2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -3v + v2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -3v + v2 = 0 + 8
-3v + v2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
-3v + v2 = 8

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 = 8 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3v + v2 = 8 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 8 + 2.25 = 10.25
2.25 + -3v + v2 = 10.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -1.5)(v + -1.5) = 10.25
