6v+5=8v+11 | Solve for v
6v=8v+6 | Subtract 5 from both sides
-2v=6 | Subtract 8 v from both sides
v=-3 | Divide both sides by -2

Hi there,
This is the original equation:

6v+5=8v+11
First, we need to subtract 5 from both sides;

6v=8v+6
Then, we subtract 8v from both sides;

-2v=6
Finally, divide both sides by -2;

v=-3
Therefore, the answer to your problem is v = -3. Hope this helps and have a great day!
