Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides remember the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
first, distribute
5(6-4v)=5(6)+5(-4v)=30-20v so we gots
30-20v=v+21 add 20v to both sides 30+20v-20v=20v+v+21 30+0=21v+21 30=21v+21 minus 21 from both sides 30-21=21v+21-21 9=21v+0 9=21v divide both sides by 21
