-5\left(v+7\right)=8
Variable v cannot be equal to -7 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by v+7.
-5v-35=8
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by v+7.
-5v=8+35
Add 35 to both sides.
-5v=43
Add 8 and 35 to get 43.
v=\frac{43}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
v=-\frac{43}{5}
Fraction \frac{43}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{43}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
