v = -17

Simplifying
v = -17
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1v)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1v = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
v = 1
Solution
v = {-17, 1}
