Answer: v = 5

Step-by-step explanation: Hi there! First, we need to distribute the 2 between v and 3 to get 2v + 6 = 16, next we have to subtract 6 on both sides to isolate the variable. 2v = 10, now to get v all by itself we need to divide by 2 on each side, 2v/2 = 10/2, which equals v =5, so v equals 5.

Hope this helps!
