By first expanding the bracket and then rearranging the equation

Explanation:

-6=3(v+ -3)+12

First expand the bracket

-6=3v-9+12

Second you rearrange the equation to make v the subject (remember: when you move a number over to the other side of the equation, you have to change its sign; positive to negative and vice-versa)

-6-12+9=3v

This makes

3v=-9

Divide both sides by three and you get the answer

v=-3
