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


Simplifying
v2 + -5v + -2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving
-2 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -5v + 2 + v2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 2
-5v + v2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-5v + v2 = 2

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 = 2 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 2 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 2 + 6.25 = 8.25
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -2.5)(v + -2.5) = 8.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.872281323
