Solve for v.

Question

-3 + v/4 = -7
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
v = ?

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-3 + \frac{v}{4} = -7\), follow these steps:

1. Add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(v\): \[ \frac{v}{4} = -7 + 3 \] \[ \frac{v}{4} = -4 \]

2. Multiply both sides by 4 to solve for \(v\): \[ v = -4 \times 4 \] \[ v = -16 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-16} \]
