$9 v - 6$ $9v-6$

Use the distributive property first:

$2 \cdot v - 2 \cdot 5 + 7 v + 4$ $2*v-2*5+7v+4$

$2 v - 10 + 7 v + 4$ $2v-10+7v+4$

$9 v - 6$ $9v-6$

$9 v = 6$ $9v=6$

$2 (v - 5) + 7 v + 4$ $2(v-5)+7v+4$ expands to $2 v - 10 + 7 v + 4$ $2v-10+7v+4$
This then simplifies to $9 v - 6$ $9v-6$
$9 v = 6$ $9v=6$
