Starting with:
+4%2F5-%28v-1%29%2F10=%28v-5%29%2F30+
.
Multiply both sides by 30 to get rid of denominators:
+24+-+3%28v-1%29+=+v-5+
+24+-+%283v-3%29+=+v-5+
+24+-+3v+%2B3++=+v-5+
+27+-+3v++=+v-5+
+27++=+4v-5+
+32++=+4v+
+8++=+v+

Hi,
*Note: Simplify by multiplying each side of the equation by 30
+4%2F5-%28v-1%29%2F10=%28v-5%29%2F30+
.
+24-3%2A%28v-1%29=%28v-5%29
.
+24-3%2Av%2B3=v-5
.
+24%2B3=4v-5
.
solve for v
