3v%2B8=8%2B2v%2Bv Start with the given equation.


3v%2B8=3v%2B8 Combine like terms on the right side.


3v=3v%2B8-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


3v-3v=8-8 Subtract 3v from both sides.


0v=8-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


0v=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=0 Simplify.


Since this equation is always true for any v value, this means v can equal any number.

So there are an infinite number of solutions.
