Answer:

v = 16

Explanation:

I am assuming you would like to find the value of v?

-3 = v/4 - 7

we want to get v on its own so that v = ... this means we must 'move' the other values onto the opposing side of the '=' (equals)

first, add 7 to both sides to 'remove' the 7 from 'v' side of the equation

so this means

-3 + 7 = v/4 - 7 +7

furtherly simplify so that

4 = v/4

v/4 can also be written as v ÷ 4 therefore to 'undo' it we must perform the inverse sign, i.e. '*' multiply 4 to both sides

therefore

4*4 = v ÷ 4 *4

thus

16 = v

v= 16

I hope this helped! :)
