v-4+2\left(v+12\right)+16=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2.
v-4+2v+24+16=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by v+12.
3v-4+24+16=0
Combine v and 2v to get 3v.
3v+20+16=0
Add -4 and 24 to get 20.
3v+36=0
Add 20 and 16 to get 36.
3v=-36
Subtract 36 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
v=\frac{-36}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
v=-12
Divide -36 by 3 to get -12.
