2v+3(8-v)=negative 16
what does v equal?
2v+24 -3v=-16
subtract 24 from each side.
divide each side by -5
2v+24-3v=-16 [Distribute the 3]
-v+24=-16 [Combine liked terms]
-v=-30 [Subtract 24 on both sides]
v=30 [Divide by the negative]

To solve for v in the equation 2v + 3(8 - v) = -16, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2v + 24 - 3v = -16
Step 2: Combine like terms by subtracting 3v from 2v:
-v + 24 = -16
Step 3: Move 24 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
-v = -16 - 24
-v = -40
Step 4: Multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to isolate v:
v = -40 * -1
v = 40
Therefore, the value of v is 40.
