Answer: v = -3

Given:


2\left(v-8\right)+3v=-31

-Distribute 2(v-8):


\begin{gathered} 2\left(v-8\right)+3v=-31 \\ \Rightarrow2v-16+3v=-31 \end{gathered}

-Combine like terms:


\begin{gathered} \begin{equation*} 2v-16+3v=-31 \end{equation*} \\ \Rightarrow2v+3v=-31+16 \\ \Rightarrow5v=-15 \end{gathered}

-Divide both sides by 5:


\begin{gathered} \begin{equation*} 5v=-15 \end{equation*} \\ \Rightarrow(5v)/(5)=(-15)/(5) \\ \Rightarrow v=-3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, v=-3
