<u>Answer:
</u>
The value of v in -18 = 5v+7 is -5.
<u>Solution:
</u>
From question given that the equation is
-18 = 5v + 7
On subtracting 7 both sides, the above equation becomes
-18 - 7 = 5v + 7 - 7
-18 - 7 = 5v
Taking -1 as a common term in left hand side,
-(18+7) = 5v
On simplifying the above equation,
-(25) = 5v
Open the bracket,
-25 = 5v
Rewrite the above equation,
5v = -25
On dividing by 5 on both sides
v = -5
Hence on Simplifying the given equation -18 = 5v + 7, we get value of v is -5.
