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

Evaluate
v−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
v=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
v=3
v=3v+1=0
Solve the equation for v
