Solve for v:
-2(3v - 3) + 2v = 8 + 2(3v - 9)
Use the distributive property:
-2(3v - 3) + 2v = 8 + 2(3v - 9)
-6v + 6 + 2v = 8 + 6v -18
Combine like terms:
-6v + 6 + 2v = 8 + 6v -18
-4v + 6 = 6v - 10
Subtract 6v from both sides
-10v + 6 = -10
Subtract 6 from both sides
-10v = -16
Divide both sides by -10
v = 8/5
