v2 + -5v + -4 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-4 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving
-4 + -5v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -5v + 4 + v2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -5v + v2 = 0 + 4
-5v + v2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-5v + v2 = 4

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 = 4 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 4 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 6.25 = 10.25
6.25 + -5v + v2 = 10.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -2.5)(v + -2.5) = 10.25
