5\left(v-4\right)=3v
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.
5v-20=3v
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by v-4.
5v-20-3v=0
Subtract 3v from both sides.
2v-20=0
Combine 5v and -3v to get 2v.
2v=20
Add 20 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
v=\frac{20}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
v=10
Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.
