#v= 5#

#11-9v=-34#

You want to isolate the variable one step at a time. First, get the term with the variable by itself.

Subtract #11# from both sides of the equation:

#11-9v-11=-34-11#

Now we have

#-9v=-45#

Isolate the variable even more by dividing off the coefficient.

Divide both sides by #-9#:

#(-9v)/-9 = (-45)/-9#

#v= 5#
