2\times 30=2\left(v+15\right)\times \frac{9}{2}-\left(\frac{2}{9}v+\frac{10}{3}\right)\times 30
Variable v cannot be equal to -15 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(v+15\right), the least common multiple of 15+v,2.
60=2\left(v+15\right)\times \frac{9}{2}-\left(\frac{2}{9}v+\frac{10}{3}\right)\times 30
Multiply 2 and 30 to get 60.
60=9\left(v+15\right)-\left(\frac{2}{9}v+\frac{10}{3}\right)\times 30
Multiply 2 and \frac{9}{2} to get 9.
60=9v+135-\left(\frac{2}{9}v+\frac{10}{3}\right)\times 30
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by v+15.
60=9v+135-\left(\frac{20}{3}v+100\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{2}{9}v+\frac{10}{3} by 30.
60=9v+135-\frac{20}{3}v-100
To find the opposite of \frac{20}{3}v+100, find the opposite of each term.
60=\frac{7}{3}v+135-100
Combine 9v and -\frac{20}{3}v to get \frac{7}{3}v.
60=\frac{7}{3}v+35
Subtract 100 from 135 to get 35.
\frac{7}{3}v+35=60
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{7}{3}v=60-35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
\frac{7}{3}v=25
Subtract 35 from 60 to get 25.
v=25\times \frac{3}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{3}.
v=\frac{75}{7}
Multiply 25 and \frac{3}{7} to get \frac{75}{7}.
