2%285-3v%29=9v%2B28 Start with the given equation.


10-6v=9v%2B28 Distribute.


-6v=9v%2B28-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


-6v-9v=28-10 Subtract 9v from both sides.


-15v=28-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-15v=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


v=%2818%29%2F%28-15%29 Divide both sides by -15 to isolate v.


v=-6%2F5 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is v=-6%2F5
