#v=0" or "v=8#

Explanation:

#"assuming the question is"#

#v^2-8v-3=-3#

#"add 3 to both sides"#

#v^2-8vcancel(-3)cancel(+3)=cancel(-3)cancel(+3)#

#rArrv^2-8v=0#

#"take out a common factor of "v#

#rArrv(v-8)=0#

#"equate each factor to zero (zero product rule) and solve for v"#

#v=0" or "v-8=0rArrv=8#
