Solution for v^2-5v-10=0 equation:


Simplifying
v2 + -5v + -10 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-10 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving
-10 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + -5v + 10 + v2 = 0 + 10

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 10 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 10
-5v + v2 = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10
-5v + v2 = 10

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 = 10 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 10 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 10 + 6.25 = 16.25
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -2.5)(v + -2.5) = 16.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.031128874

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + -2.5) equal to 4.031128874 and -4.031128874.

Subproblem 1

v + -2.5 = 4.031128874 Simplifying v + -2.5 = 4.031128874 Reorder the terms: -2.5 + v = 4.031128874 Solving -2.5 + v = 4.031128874 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.5' to each side of the equation. -2.5 + 2.5 + v = 4.031128874 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + v = 4.031128874 + 2.5 v = 4.031128874 + 2.5 Combine like terms: 4.031128874 + 2.5 = 6.531128874 v = 6.531128874 Simplifying v = 6.531128874
