Evaluate
v2−v
Rewrite the expression
v×v−v
Factor out v from the expression
v(v−1)
v(v−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
v=0v−1=0
Solve the equation for v
More Steps

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=0v=1
Solution
v1=0,v2=1
