Beth high school 9th grade student 1-3/4(v+2)=-5 Hi Beth, If you want to solve the equation 
 for v then you need to work through a sequence of steps to end with the equation 
 At each step you need to perform identical operation to each side of the equation to maintain the equality. The first step is to add -1 to both sides of the equation to get 
  
Now multiply both sides by -4/3 
  
Finally add -2 to both sides to arrive at the solution 
 
Cheers,
