| ( | v | − | 20 | ) | ( | - | 148 5 | ) | = | 20 | v |
| Left side of the equation = | v | ( | - | 148 5 | ) | − | 20 | ( | - | 148 5 | ) |
| = | - | v | × | 148 5 | − | 20 | ( | - | 148 5 | ) |
| = | - | 148 5 | v | + | 20 | × | 148 5 |
| = | - | 148 5 | v | + | 592 |
| - | 148 5 | v | + | 592 | = | 20 | v |
| - | 148 5 | v | − | 20 | v | = | - | 592 |
| - | 248 5 | v | = | - | 592 |
| 592 | = | 248 5 | v |
248 5 | v | = | 592 |
| v | = | 592 | ÷ | 248 5 |
| = | 592 | × | 5 248 |
| = | 74 | × | 5 31 |
| v | = | 370 31 |
| v | = | 11.935484 |
