To solve the equation \( \log_7(3v + 10) = 0 \), we start by recalling that the logarithm of a number to a certain base is equal to zero when that number is equal to 1. This is based on the property:
\[ \log_b(a) = 0 \implies a = 1 \]
In our case:
\[ 3v + 10 = 1 \]
Now we can solve for \( v \):
- Subtract 10 from both sides:
\[ 3v = 1 - 10 \] \[ 3v = -9 \]
- Now divide by 3:
\[ v = \frac{-9}{3} \] \[ v = -3 \]
Therefore, the solution is:
\[ v = -3 \]
