3v-9=7%2B2v-v Start with the given equation.



3v-9=7%2Bv Combine like terms on the right side.



3v=7%2Bv%2B9 Add 9 to both sides.



3v-v=7%2B9 Subtract v from both sides.



2v=7%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.



2v=16 Combine like terms on the right side.



v=%2816%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate v.



v=8 Reduce.
