Answer:
v = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
29 = -8v - 7 + 5v
Combine the 'like terms':
29 = (-8v + 5v) - 7
29 = -3v -7
Add 7 to both sides:
29 + 7 = -3v -7 +7
36 = -3v + 0
36 = -3v
Divide both sides by the coefficient in front of the variable 'v' because we want to get 'v' all by itself. So, divide by -3.
36/-3 = -3v/-3
-12 = v
And that is the answer, v is negative twelve
