Question

solve for v.
3(3v - 8) = 21
simplify your answer as much as possible.
v =

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3(3v-8)}{3}=\frac{21}{3}$
$3v-8=7$

Step2: Add 8 to both sides

$3v-8+8=7+8$
$3v=15$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3v}{3}=\frac{15}{3}$
$v=5$

Answer:

$v=5$
