v+-+4%284+-+v%29+=+-2%282v+-+1%29
v+-+16+%2B+4v+=+-4v+%2B+2 distribute the -4 and the -2
v+-+16+%2B+4v+%2B+4v+=+-4v+%2B+4v+%2B+2
-16+%2B+9v+=+2
-16+%2B+16+%2B+9v+=+2+%2B+16
9v+=+18
9v%2F9+=+18%2F9
v+=+2
Check:
v+-+4%284+-+v%29+=+-2%282v+-+1%29
2+-+4%284+-+%282%29%29+=+-2%282%282%29+-+1%29 plug in
2+-+4%282%29+=+-2%284+-+1%29 simplify
2+-+8+=+-2%283%29
-6+=+-6
