Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert all of the denominators to have the same denominator.

A common denominator 2, 3, and 5 share in common is 30.

((-1/2) * 15/15) + ((-2/3 v) * 10/10) = ((4/5) * 6/6)

-15/30 + -20/30v = 24/30

Add 15/30 to both sides.

-20/30v = 39/30

Multiply by -30/20 on both sides to get v.

v =
-(39)/(20) is the answer.
