Answer:

v=7, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


v^2-12v+28=-7

To solve for v using completing the square method, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Take the constant to the right-hand side.


\begin{gathered} v^2-12v=-7-28 \\ \implies v^2-12v=-35 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.


v^2-12v+(-6)^2=-35+(-6)^2

Step 3: Write the left-hand side as a perfect square.


(v-6)^2=-35+36\implies(v-6)^2=1

Step 4: Take the square root of both sides.


\begin{gathered} √((v-6)^2)=\pm√(1) \\ v-6=\pm1 \end{gathered}

Step 5: Solve for v.


\begin{gathered} v=6\pm1 \\ v=6+1\text{ or }v=6-1 \\ v=7\text{ or }v=5 \end{gathered}

The values of v are 7 and 5.
