Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

Solve for v:

7 (5 v + 2) = 3 v + 14

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

35 v + 14 = 3 v + 14

Subtract 3 v from both sides:

(35 v - 3 v) + 14 = (3 v - 3 v) + 14

35 v - 3 v = 32 v:

32 v + 14 = (3 v - 3 v) + 14

3 v - 3 v = 0:

32 v + 14 = 14

Subtract 14 from both sides:

32 v + (14 - 14) = 14 - 14

14 - 14 = 0:

32 v = 14 - 14

14 - 14 = 0:

32 v = 0

Divide both sides of 32 v = 0 by 32:

(32 v)/32 = 0/32

32/32 = 1:

v = 0/32

0/32 = 0:

Answer: v = 0
