You isolate v on one side of the equation to get v=7.

Explanation:

You can solve this equation by isolating v on one side of the equation.

To do that, first add -3 to both sides of the equation

color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3))) - color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3))) + 6v = 45 - 3

6v = 42

Now divide both sides of the equation by 6 to get v alone on the left side of the equation

(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) * v)/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) = 42/6

v = color(green)(7)
