Apply the distributive property.6⋅5+6(−8v)+12 = −54
Multiply 6 by 5 to get 30.30+6(−8v)+12=−54
Multiply −8 by 6 to get −48.30−48v+12=−54
Add 30 and 12 to get 42.−48v+42=−54
Subtract 42 from both sides.−48v=−42−54
Subtract 54 from −42 to get −96.−48v=−96
Divide each term -48
-48/-48v=-96/-48
Divide 96 by −48 to get −2v=2
