Simplifying
4 + -1v = 0

Solving
4 + -1v = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1v = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1v = 0 + -4
-1v = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1v = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.
v = 4

Simplifying
v = 4
Solution
v = {-5, 4}
