Solution Steps

Step 1: Eliminate the Fraction

To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

5v+45=5(13) 5 \cdot \frac{v + 4}{5} = 5 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)

This simplifies to:

v+4=53 v + 4 = -\frac{5}{3}

Step 2: Isolate vv

Subtract 4 from both sides to solve for vv:

v=534 v = -\frac{5}{3} - 4

Convert 4 to a fraction with a denominator of 3:

v=53123 v = -\frac{5}{3} - \frac{12}{3}

Combine the fractions:

v=5+123=173 v = -\frac{5 + 12}{3} = -\frac{17}{3}

Final Answer

The solution for vv is:

v=173 \boxed{v = -\frac{17}{3}}
