Solve for v 3v-9v=30

$3 v - 9 v = 30$

Step 1

Subtract $9 v$ from $3 v$ .

$- 6 v = 30$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 6 v = 30$ by $- 6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 6 v = 30$ by $- 6$ .

$\frac{- 6 v}{- 6} = \frac{30}{- 6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 6 v}{- 6} = \frac{30}{- 6}$

Divide $v$ by $1$ .

$v = \frac{30}{- 6}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $30$ by $- 6$ .

$v = - 5$
