The solution is #v = 8#.

Explanation:

Begin by distributing the #2# on the right side of the equation and then combining like terms on the right side of the equation. Then the equation can be solved.

#-16 = 2(v + 8) - 6v#
#-16 = 2v + 16 - 6v#
#-16 = -4v + 16#
#-16 - 16 = -4v + 16 - 16#
#-32 = -4v#
#(-32)/-4 = (-4v)/-4#
#8 = v#
