If the video game costs \( v \) dollars and you have saved $10, you can express how much more you need to save with the equation:
\[
\text{Amount to save} = v - 10
\]
In this case, since the game costs $20, you can substitute \( v \) with 20:
\[
\text{Amount to save} = 20 - 10
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
\text{Amount to save} = 10
\]
So, you need to save an additional $10 to afford the game.
\[
\text{Amount to save} = v - 10
