Answer:

v=15

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply −4 by v+7.

Subtract 5 from −28 to get −33

Use the distributive property to multiply −3 by 1+v.

Combine −3v and −3v to get −6v.

Add 6v to both sides.

Combine −4v and 6v to get 2v.

Add 33 to both sides.

Add −3 and 33 to get 30.

Divide both sides by 2.

Divide 30 by 2 to get 15.
