Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-7 + -2v)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-7 + -2v = 0

Solving
-7 + -2v = 0

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

Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + -2v = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -2v = 0 + 7
-2v = 0 + 7

-2v = 7

Divide each side by '-2'.
v = -3.5

Simplifying
v = -3.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + -1v)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + -1v = 0

Solving
3 + -1v = 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 + -1v = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -1v = 0 + -3
-1v = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-1v = -3

Divide each side by '-1'.
v = 3

Simplifying
v = 3
Solution
v = {-3.5, 3}
