We are given the following inequality:


v-20>-4v

To solve for "v" we will add "4v" on both sides:


\begin{gathered} v+4v-20>-4v+4v \\ \end{gathered}

Adding like terms:


5v-20>0

Now, we add 20 to both sides:


5v-20+20>20

Adding like terms:


5v>20

Now, we divide both sides by 5:


(5v)/(5)>(20)/(5)

Solving the operations:


v>4

Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.
