Answer:

V=-7

Explanation:

To solve this equation, you must first add the -2 to both sides. (This cancels it out since you only want one variable on each side of the equation. It would be the other way around if the variable were positive) Now that you have the equation 3v=-21, you can divide. To get the v by itself, you must divide both sides by 3. This gives you the answer to the equation.

Hope this helps!!
