v^2-8v+39=0

Solution for v^2-8v+39=0 equation:

Simplifying
v2 + -8v + 39 = 0

Reorder the terms:
39 + -8v + v2 = 0

Solving
39 + -8v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-39' to each side of the equation.
39 + -8v + -39 + v2 = 0 + -39

Reorder the terms:
39 + -39 + -8v + v2 = 0 + -39

Combine like terms: 39 + -39 = 0
0 + -8v + v2 = 0 + -39
-8v + v2 = 0 + -39

Combine like terms: 0 + -39 = -39
-8v + v2 = -39

The v term is -8v.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-8v + 16 + v2 = -39 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -8v + v2 = -39 + 16

Combine like terms: -39 + 16 = -23
16 + -8v + v2 = -23

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -4)(v + -4) = -23

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
