Step-by-step explanation
To solve the given equation:

Step 1:
Multiply both-side of the equation by 2 in other to eliminate the denominator.

At the right-hand side of the equation, 2 add the numerator will cancel-out 2 at the denominator.

- 8 = v+ 6
step 2:
Subtract 6 from both-side of the equation.
That is;
-8 - 6 = v + 6 - 6
-14 = v
Hence, the value of v = -14
