color(gold)"v = -0.90"v = -0.90

Explanation:

color(green)("Add 6 to both sides:")Add 6 to both sides:

-10v-cancel6= 3
color(white)(aaaa)+cancel6 color(white)(a) +6

6 cancels out on the left side, and when you add 6 to 3 on the right you get 9:

-10 v= 9

color(coral)("Divide both sides by -10 to get v by itself.")

(cancel"-10"v)/cancel"-10"=(9)/-10

Now you are just left with v on the left side and -0.90 on the right side.

Thus,
color(gold)"v = -0.90"
