Isolate variable and constant terms: First, let's isolate the variable terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side of the equation.−1−16v+15v=19−15v+15v
Combine like terms: Now, combine like terms on both sides of the equation.−1−16v+15v=19−1−v=19
Add 1 to isolate variable: Next, add 1 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term.−1+1−v=19+1−v=20
Multiply by −1 to solve: Finally, multiply both sides by −1 to solve for v.−v×−1=20×−1v=−20
