Solve for v 16.8-v=6v

$16.8 - v = 6 v$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $v$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $6 v$ from both sides of the equation.

$16.8 - v - 6 v = 0$

Subtract $6 v$ from $- v$ .

$16.8 - 7 v = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $16.8$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 7 v = - 16.8$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 7 v = - 16.8$ by $- 7$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 7 v = - 16.8$ by $- 7$ .

$\frac{- 7 v}{- 7} = \frac{- 16.8}{- 7}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 7$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 7 v}{- 7} = \frac{- 16.8}{- 7}$

Divide $v$ by $1$ .

$v = \frac{- 16.8}{- 7}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 16.8$ by $- 7$ .

$v = 2.4$
