v-4%284-v%29=-2%282v-1%29 Start with the given equation



v-16%2B4v=-4v%2B2 Distribute


5v-16=-4v%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side


5v=-4v%2B2%2B16Add 16 to both sides


5v%2B4v=2%2B16 Add 4v to both sides


9v=2%2B16 Combine like terms on the left side


9v=18 Combine like terms on the right side


v=%2818%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate v



v=2 Divide
