Factor out −10 from the expression
v(v+1)−10(v+1)
Factor out v+1 from the expression
(v−10)(v+1)
3(v−10)(v+1)
3(v−10)(v+1)=0
Divide the terms
(v−10)(v+1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
v−10=0v+1=0
Solve the equation for v
More Steps

Evaluate
v−10=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
v=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
v=10
v=10v+1=0
Solve the equation for v

Evaluate
v+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
v=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
v=−1
v=10v=−1
