28-7v=-7%287v%2B8%29 Start with the given equation.


28-7v=-49v-56 Distribute.


-7v=-49v-56-28 Subtract 28 from both sides.


-7v%2B49v=-56-28 Add 49v to both sides.


42v=-56-28 Combine like terms on the left side.


42v=-84 Combine like terms on the right side.


v=%28-84%29%2F%2842%29 Divide both sides by 42 to isolate v.


v=-2 Reduce.
