-5v-15+2v+7=5v+9
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by v+3.
-3v-15+7=5v+9
Combine -5v and 2v to get -3v.
-3v-8=5v+9
Add -15 and 7 to get -8.
-3v-8-5v=9
Subtract 5v from both sides.
-8v-8=9
Combine -3v and -5v to get -8v.
-8v=9+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-8v=17
Add 9 and 8 to get 17.
v=\frac{17}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
v=-\frac{17}{8}
Fraction \frac{17}{-8} can be rewritten as -\frac{17}{8} by extracting the negative sign.
