v=6v=6

Explanation:

Multiply 44 through the brackets,

-8v+4v-8=-328v+4v8=32

Collect like terms,

-4v=-244v=24

Divide both sides by -44,

v=6v=6

v=6v=6

See the process in the explanation.

Explanation:

Solve:

-8v+4(v-2)=-328v+4(v2)=32

Expand.

-8v+4v-8=-328v+4v8=32

Add 88 to both sides of the equation.

-8v+4v-color(red)cancel(color(black)(8))+color(red)cancel(color(black)(8))=-32+8

Simplify.

-4v=-24

Divide both sides by -4.

color(red)cancel(color(black)(-4v))/color(red)cancel(color(black)(-4))=color(red)cancel(color(black)(-24))^color(blue)6/color(red)cancel(color(black)(-4)^color(blue)1

Simplify.

v=6
