$v = - 7$ $v=-7$

Apply the distributive property

$188 = - 4 (- 5) - 4 (6 v)$ $188 = -4(-5) - 4(6v)$

$188 = 20 - 24 v$ $188 = 20 - 24v$

Subtract $20$ $20$ from both sides of the equation

$188 - 20 = 20 - 20 - 24 v$ $188 - 20 = 20 - 20 - 24v$

$168 = - 24 v$ $168 = -24v$

Divide both sides by $- 24$ $-24$ to isolate the variable

$\frac{168}{- 24} = \frac{- 24 v}{- 24}$ $168 /-24 = (-24v)/-24$

$v = - 7$ $v = -7$
