By first expanding the bracket and then rearranging the equation

Explanation:

−6=3(v+−3)+12

First expand the bracket

−6=3v−9+12

Second you rearrange the equation to make v the subject (remember: when you move a number over to the other side of the equation, you have to change its sign; positive to negative and vice-versa)

−6−12+9=3v

This makes

3v=−9

Divide both sides by three and you get the answer

v=−3
