Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.
40 + -40v + -40 + v2 = 0 + -40

Reorder the terms:
40 + -40 + -40v + v2 = 0 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0
0 + -40v + v2 = 0 + -40
-40v + v2 = 0 + -40

Combine like terms: 0 + -40 = -40
-40v + v2 = -40

The v term is -40v.  Take half its coefficient (-20).
Square it (400) and add it to both sides.

Add '400' to each side of the equation.
-40v + 400 + v2 = -40 + 400

Reorder the terms:
400 + -40v + v2 = -40 + 400

Combine like terms: -40 + 400 = 360
400 + -40v + v2 = 360

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -20)(v + -20) = 360
