Answer

$v=3$

Work Step by Step

$$\begin{align*} 22v+14&=80 &\text{Combine like terms.}\\ 22v+14-14&=80-14 &\text{Subtract 14 from each side.}\\ 22v&=66 &\text{Simplify.}\\ \frac{22v}{22}&=\frac{66}{22} &\text{Divide both sides by 22.}\\ v&=3&\text{Simplify.} \end{align*}$$ Check the answer by substituting $3$ to the variable in the given equation. $$\begin{align*} 12v+10v+14&=80\\ 12(3)+10(3)+14&\stackrel{?}{=}80\\ 36+30+14&\stackrel{?}{=}80\\ 80&\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}80 \end{align*}$$ Thus, the solution is $v=3$.
