Distribute 8 to (v-2)
8v - 12
Then distribute 5 to (v+3)
5v + 15
8v - 12 = 5v + 15 -8
Subtract 8 from 15 and get 7
8v - 12 = 5v + 7
Subtract 5v from 8v
3v - 12 = 7
Add 12 to 7 to get 19
3v = 19
Divide 19 by 3
And go from there because I’m not good with fractions I’m sorry
But after u divide that the number you get is v
