Follow the methods of a simple linear equation.
$v = 5$ $v=5$

Like with all linear equations, the goal is to get all variables (in this case $v$ $v$ ) on one side and all the constants on the other.

Therefore to solve literally move over the $2$ $2$ by adding it to $13$ $13$

$3 v - 2 = 13$ $3v-2=13$
$3 v = 15$ $3v=15$
$v = 5$ $v=5$

How do you evaluate (3v - 2) = 13(3v−2)=13(3v - 2) = 13?
