v=-6 is the right answer. First you had to subtract by 7 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]7-6v-7=-5-8v-7[/tex]. And then simplify, and it gave us, [tex]-6v=-8v-12[/tex]. You can also add by 8v from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]-6v+8v=-8v-12+8v[/tex]. Next simplify, and it gave us, [tex]2v=-12[/tex]. Then you divide by 2 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]\frac{2v}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}[/tex]. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is v=-6 is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
