I'm having trouble on this problem.

Please, could you share the directions that came with this problem?

I suspect the directions are "solve the following equation for the variable v."

Copy down the given equation.  Multiply both the left side and the right side by -7.  Your result will be "4v" on the left side and "-7 times 8 2/3" on the right.

The next step would be to perform the actual multiplication 

-7 times 8 2/3.  You must convert   that 8 2/3 to an improper fraction first.

Multiply the 8 by 3 and add 2, and then divide your result by 3.  

Now multiply this last result by 7.  What do you get?

The last step in solving for v would be to divide both sides of the equation b y 4, leaving v alone on the left side.  Please show your work.

The answer would be c.hope this .
