60+3v=4v\left(-1\right)
Variable v cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 60v, the least common multiple of v,-20,15.
60+3v=-4v
Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.
60+3v+4v=0
Add 4v to both sides.
60+7v=0
Combine 3v and 4v to get 7v.
7v=-60
Subtract 60 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
v=\frac{-60}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
v=-\frac{60}{7}
Fraction \frac{-60}{7} can be rewritten as -\frac{60}{7} by extracting the negative sign.
