Solution for 18+0.3v+0.2v(v-4)=7.2 equation:


Simplifying
18 + 0.3v + 0.2v(v + -4) = 7.2

Reorder the terms:
18 + 0.3v + 0.2v(-4 + v) = 7.2
18 + 0.3v + (-4 * 0.2v + v * 0.2v) = 7.2
18 + 0.3v + (-0.8v + 0.2v2) = 7.2

Combine like terms: 0.3v + -0.8v = -0.5v
18 + -0.5v + 0.2v2 = 7.2

Solving
18 + -0.5v + 0.2v2 = 7.2

Solving for variable 'v'.

Reorder the terms:
18 + -7.2 + -0.5v + 0.2v2 = 7.2 + -7.2

Combine like terms: 18 + -7.2 = 10.8
10.8 + -0.5v + 0.2v2 = 7.2 + -7.2

Combine like terms: 7.2 + -7.2 = 0.0
10.8 + -0.5v + 0.2v2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.2'.
54 + -2.5v + v2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-54' to each side of the equation.
54 + -2.5v + -54 + v2 = 0 + -54

Reorder the terms:
54 + -54 + -2.5v + v2 = 0 + -54

Combine like terms: 54 + -54 = 0
0 + -2.5v + v2 = 0 + -54
-2.5v + v2 = 0 + -54

Combine like terms: 0 + -54 = -54
-2.5v + v2 = -54

The v term is -2.5v.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5v + 1.5625 + v2 = -54 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5v + v2 = -54 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -54 + 1.5625 = -52.4375
1.5625 + -2.5v + v2 = -52.4375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -1.25)(v + -1.25) = -52.4375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
