See down below.

Explanation:

The equation is

-18v = -126

and we have to solve for v. We have to get v by itself, so we have to divide by -18 to cancel out the multiplication. Division and multiplication cancel each other out and addition and subtraction cancel each other out.

Since we divided by -18 on one side, we have to do it on the other as well. When we divide -126 by -18, we get 7. When you multiply or divide two negative numbers, it turns to a positive number.

v=7
