-12=2%2B5v%2B2v Start with the given equation.


-12=7v%2B2 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=7v%2B2%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


-7v=2%2B12 Subtract 7v from both sides.


-7v=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


v=%2814%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate v.


v=-2 Reduce.
