-12 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + -5v + 12 + v2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 12
-5v + v2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
-5v + v2 = 12

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 = 12 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 12 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 12 + 6.25 = 18.25
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 18.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -2.5)(v + -2.5) = 18.25
