12-v=3\left(v-3\right)+2\left(v+6\right)+6v
Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 18,6,9,3.
12-v=3v-9+2\left(v+6\right)+6v
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by v-3.
12-v=3v-9+2v+12+6v
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by v+6.
12-v=5v-9+12+6v
Combine 3v and 2v to get 5v.
12-v=5v+3+6v
Add -9 and 12 to get 3.
12-v=11v+3
Combine 5v and 6v to get 11v.
12-v-11v=3
Subtract 11v from both sides.
12-12v=3
Combine -v and -11v to get -12v.
-12v=3-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-12v=-9
Subtract 12 from 3 to get -9.
v=\frac{-9}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
v=\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-9}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.
