v^{2}-35-2v=0
Subtract 2v from both sides.
v^{2}-2v-35=0
Rearrange the polynomial to put it in standard form. Place the terms in order from highest to lowest power.
a+b=-2 ab=-35
To solve the equation, factor v^{2}-2v-35 using formula v^{2}+\left(a+b\right)v+ab=\left(v+a\right)\left(v+b\right). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
1,-35 5,-7
Since ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. Since a+b is negative, the negative number has greater absolute value than the positive. List all such integer pairs that give product -35.
1-35=-34 5-7=-2
Calculate the sum for each pair.

Subtract 2v from both sides.
v^{2}-2v-35=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
v=\frac{-\left(-2\right)±\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^{2}-4\left(-35\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -2 for b, and -35 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
v=\frac{-\left(-2\right)±\sqrt{4-4\left(-35\right)}}{2}
Square -2.
v=\frac{-\left(-2\right)±\sqrt{4+140}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -35.
v=\frac{-\left(-2\right)±\sqrt{144}}{2}
Add 4 to 140.
v=\frac{-\left(-2\right)±12}{2}
Take the square root of 144.
v=\frac{2±12}{2}
The opposite of -2 is 2.
v=\frac{14}{2}
Now solve the equation v=\frac{2±12}{2} when ± is plus. Add 2 to 12.
v=7
Divide 14 by 2.
v=-\frac{10}{2}
Now solve the equation v=\frac{2±12}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 12 from 2.
v=-5
Divide -10 by 2.
v=7 v=-5
The equation is now solved.
v^{2}-35-2v=0
Subtract 2v from both sides.
v^{2}-2v=35
Add 35 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
v^{2}-2v+1=35+1
Divide -2, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -1. Then add the square of -1 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
v^{2}-2v+1=36
Add 35 to 1.
\left(v-1\right)^{2}=36
Factor v^{2}-2v+1. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(v-1\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{36}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
v-1=6 v-1=-6
Simplify.
v=7 v=-5
Add 1 to both sides of the equation.
