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

#color(green)("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"#
