Answer:

v = 1

Explanation:

-6(4 + 5v) - 3 = -57

Add 3 to each side

-6(4 + 5v) - 3+3 = -57+3

-6(4 + 5v) = -54

Divide by -6 on each side

-6(4 + 5v) / -6 = -54/-6

4+5v = 9

Subtract 4 from each side

4+5v-4 = 9-4

5v = 5

Divide each side by 5

5v/5 = 5/5

v =1

-6(4 + 5v) - 3 = -57

Use distributive properties

-24 -30V -3 = -57

Combine like terms

-27 -30v = -57

Add 27 to both sides

-30v = -30

Divide both sides by -30

V=1
