Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + 2v)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + 2v = 0

Solving
3 + 2v = 0

Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 2v = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 2v = 0 + -3
2v = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
2v = -3

Divide each side by '2'.
v = -1.5

Simplifying
v = -1.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + v)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + v = 0

Solving
1 + v = 0

Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + v = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + v = 0 + -1
v = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
v = -1

Simplifying
v = -1
Solution
v = {-1.5, -1}
