The final answer is v=1 and v=7.

Steps

Step 1 :First, let's understand the problem. We are asked to solve for v in the equation 2v26v+29=(v6)2.

Step 2 :Expand the right side of the equation. (v6)2 becomes v212v+36. So, the equation becomes: 2v26v+29=v212v+36.

Step 3 :Rearrange the equation to bring all terms to one side. This will give us a quadratic equation in standard form ax2+bx+c=0. Subtract v2, add 12v, and subtract 36 from both sides to get: v2+6v7=0.

Step 4 :Factor the quadratic equation. The factors of -7 that add up to 6 are 7 and -1. So, the factored form of the equation is: (v1)(v+7)=0.

Step 5 :Set each factor equal to zero and solve for v. v1=0 gives v=1 and v+7=0 gives v=7. So, the solutions to the equation are v=1 and v=7.

Step 6 :Check the solutions. Substitute v=1 into the original equation: 2(1)26(1)+29=(16)2 gives 25=25 which is true. Substitute v=7 into the original equation: 2(7)26(7)+29=(76)2 gives 169=169 which is true. So, the solutions v=1 and v=7 are correct.

Step 7 :The final answer is v=1 and v=7.
