The equation in words would be 15 + 5v = 0 To figure out the solution you would subtract 15 from both sides. 15-15+5v=0-15 This equals: 5v=-15 To get the v by itself divide both sides by 5. This gets v on one side (the left) and -15 divided by 5. -15 divided by 5 is -3. So the solution would be v=-3
